OVERVIEW
The Nasivvik Centre for Inuit Health and Changing Environments at Laval
University is one of eight Centres established in Canada by the Canadian
Institutes for Health Research - Institute for Aboriginal Peoples
Health.
The Nasivvik Centre is focused on building capacity in Inuit heath
research through trainee support, and promoting research in specific
areas of Inuit environmental health. The theme areas, as they pertain to
Inuit health, are:
(1) Contaminants, diet, nutrition, and the environment
(2) Healthy homes (e.g. air and water quality)
(3) Climate change and Inuit health
(4) Northern environmental health surveillance and monitoring
(5) Inuit knowledge and scientific knowledge for environmental health
research (e.g. traditional medicines, research methods for knowledge
incorporation)
Part of Nasivvik Centre's mandate involves the support of research and
training for graduate students registered in a masters and doctoral
degree program in which a thesis is a major component of the degree
requirements. This year, the Nasivvik Centre is pleased to announce its
first call for Masters and Doctoral Scholarships in Inuit Environmental
Health. Applications are invited from students whose graduate research
focuses on an issue related to one or more of the 5 themes identified by
Nasivvik Centre.
ELIGIBILITY
The program is open to Canadian citizens and permanent residents of
Canada at the time of application. Only those students engaged in
full-time research training in a graduate school are eligible for
support.
