“Qaujigiartiit Health Research Centre is honoured to be the first recipient of the Canada Foundation for Innovation’s Northern Fund. This investment represents an important milestone for Inuit-led research and innovation in Nunavut and across the North. Through this support, we are creating the infrastructure needed for Nunavummiut to lead research that reflects Inuit priorities, Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit, and community aspirations. These investments in research spaces, digital infrastructure, and land-based research capacity will strengthen opportunities for training, mentorship, knowledge sharing, and evidence generation that supports healthier communities and meaningful systems change for generations to come.”
