Welcome to the new online home of the Indigenous Research Support Initiative (IRSI). We hope that this new website will be a useful and robust resource for Indigenous communities, researchers and other partners involved in Indigenous research projects. In addition, we intend for this site to be an online community where a safe dialogue can take place about Indigenous research and related topics.
Take a tour of the new site to see what it has to offer. There is a dedicated section for researchers, where we share tips, tools and information about how to engage in a community-based research collaboration, whether you are just beginning or have a history of experience already. And we have a section for Indigenous communities, where community members and leaders can learn how research collaborations can benefit them as well as how to avoid pitfalls. There are also sections for IRSI news & events, information about us, and a list of current and recent Indigenous research projects IRSI has been involved in.
If there’s something that you feel is missing, we’d love to hear from you about how we can expand and improve the website. Please contact us to let us know how!
