This factsheet was created by Inuit Tuttarvingat of the National Aboriginal Health Organization.

HERE’S HOW THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THIS FACTSHEET:

In collaboration with regional and national Inuit organizations, an advisory group was formed in 2008, to discuss research ethics protocols and develop informative materials on research ethics. This committee is named Inuit Nipingit – National Inuit Committee on Ethics and Research.

This factsheet explains the existing requirements for researchers to conduct research in Inuit regions. A map of Inuit Nunangat, showing the four Inuit regions and their location within Canada, helps visualize which areas and communities are covered by regional permit and licensing requirements. The factsheet advises on research-specific requirements and timeframes, offers helpful reading materials and provides regional contact information.
