may 23, 2019 – thunder bay, ont.

阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 researchers are receiving $361,325 from the federal new frontiers in research fund for two research projects. new frontiers in research is a new, highly competitive tri-agency program designed to support groundbreaking interdisciplinary research.

these research projects will explore the connection between personal identification access and public health and will define and look at the impact of socially accountable medical education.

dr. chris sanders, assistant professor in sociology, in partnership with kinna-aweya legal clinic, is receiving $196,500 to spend two years exploring the impact of lack of access to personal identification like birth certificates on first nations communities’ ability to access health care.

lack of personal identification has significant consequences for an individual’s ability to access health services and stay healthy throughout their lifespan. this study will consider the breadth of the problem of having no personal identification, and the impact of missing personal identification on indigenous communities.

dr. sanders will work with co-applicants dr. kristin burnett, associate professor, indigenous learning at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 , and dr. kelly skinner, assistant professor, school of public health and health systems at the university of waterloo, to address barriers to accessing personal identification and develop a toolkit to help organizations and communities in the region develop personal identification clinics.

dr. erin cameron, assistant professor, northern ontario school of medicine, is receiving $164,825 to spend two years examining how socially accountable medical education fosters transformation in rural health care systems.

the project seeks to explore social accountability in the context of medical education and investigate how 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , faculty, and community understand and embrace social accountability. the northern ontario school of medicine is leading the project in collaboration with international, national, and local collaborators.

“the new frontiers exploration program is a bold initiative that provides funding for early career researchers with interdisciplinary projects,” said dr. andrew p. dean, lakehead’s vice-president, research and innovation.

“we are very proud that our faculty have been successful in this opportunity and thank the government of canada for its continued investment in transformative research,” he added. 

funding from new frontiers also generates support from the federal research support fund to offset the indirect costs of research incurred by universities.

in 2018/19, 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 will receive nearly $2 million in assistance from the research support fund to support the indirect costs of research, which includes costs for supporting the management of intellectual property, research and administration, ethics and regulatory compliance, research resources, and research facilities.

阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 is one of only 15 organizations from across canada awarded a new grant that will help promote equity, diversity and inclusion (edi) at the university.

the natural sciences and engineering research council of canada (nserc) received 51 applications for the equity, diversity and inclusion institutional capacity-building grant, which will provide $384,700 to 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 over the next two years.  

this funding will support 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 in advancing its edi agenda as well as beginning to adopt and implement the dimensions: equity, diversity and inclusion canada pilot program launched by the government of canada on thursday, may 9. inspired by the united kingdom’s internationally-recognized athena swan program, the program promotes equity, diversity and inclusion in research.

“we are honoured to be selected as an award recipient of the edi institutional capacity-building grant,” said dr. david barnett, provost and vice-president (academic).

“this grant affirms the great strides our leaders have been championing and aligns with our current strategic and academic plan priorities in providing an inclusive, equitable, and accessible environment at both lakehead thunder bay and lakehead orillia,” he said.

adam shaen, associate vice-president of human resources, said the grant would enable lakehead to deliver on its commitments to equity, diversity and inclusion outlined in the university’s draft institutional edi action plan.

“specifically, this award will support our work in launching our new five-year action plan, recruiting and supporting a diverse workforce, creating an equitable and inclusive university environment, and committing to continuous improvement informed by evidence-based practices,” shaen said.

the government of canada created the dimensions edi charter and pilot program to address underrepresented groups in academic research – specifically indigenous peoples, women, racialized minorities, people with disabilities, and the lgbtq2+ community – and all areas of research in post-secondary institutions.

the honourable kirsty duncan, minister of science and sport, announced the new dimensions pilot program last week with an edi charter that will help universities make the research community as diverse as canada.

“this truly is a critical and transformational step for canadian post-secondary institutions,” said minister duncan during the launch. “we know that when we bring together diverse points of view, our health, environment, communities and economy can thrive.”

“阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 is pleased to fully endorse the dimensions charter,” said 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 president dr. moira mcpherson. “both the charter and pilot program are aligned with 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 ’s plans to develop and implement an institution-wide equity, diversity and inclusion action plan.”

six proud 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 were the first to complete the new maternal-infant support worker program offered in sioux lookout.

april 16, 2019, thunder bay, ont.

six proud 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 were the first to complete the new maternal-infant support worker (misw) program offered in sioux lookout. on april 5, they accepted their certificates at the sioux lookout men ya win health centre. 

the misw program is a certificate program that resulted from a collaboration between the sioux lookout area aboriginal management board, sioux lookout meno ya win health centre, confederation college and the centre for rural and northern health research at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 . the aim of the program is to improve the care of mothers and infants living in remote first nations by providing enhanced skills to community health representatives in those communities. the support and partnership of the community health centres has also been a vital piece of the program’s success.

dolly nymark from mishkeegogamang first nation was part of that inaugural class and she is looking forward to putting what she has learned into helping new mothers and their babies. “this program helps fill the gap in prenatal education in northern communities,” she said. “i especially want to help first time moms learn about what to expect. i think this program is a great idea and i think every community should have a maternal-infant support worker to give help where it’s needed.”

the program prepares graduates to work with expectant mothers, their infants and their families with traditional and western teachings blended throughout. maternal-infant support workers apply a wholistic approach – which considers the mind, body and spirit – to assessing needs and a client-centred focus. as part of a healthcare team, they will incorporate indigenous cultural beliefs, values and practices.

the key role of the maternal-infant support worker is providing a focus on health promotion and illness prevention strategies and participating in community wellness programs. misw’s are able to provide a range of prenatal and postnatal resources in addition to supporting expecting mothers, fathers and extended family. the support worker will also perform home visits that allow for more effective communication strategies and problem solving. home visits allow the worker to engage with the extended family reflecting the cultural and multi-generational nature of many indigenous families.

all organizations involved would like to congratulate the inaugural class of summer barkman, kitchenumaykoosib inniwug first nation; julie kenequanash, weagamow lake first nation; priscilla king, kingfisher lake first nation; carmel meekis, sandy lake first nation; dolly nymark, mishkeegogamang first nation; and edna winter, kingfisher lake first nation.

the next cohort of 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 has recently started training in sioux lookout and will begin working with mothers in their home communities in august 2019.
