Building Connections to Foster Ethical Research: Overview of the Summer Institute on Aboriginal Research Ethics Pilot<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carleton University\u00a0held a two-day pilot session in\u00a0August of 2014\u00a0to prepare for a unique 5-day Summer Institute on Aboriginal Research Ethics planned for 2015. Using feedback collected through the pilot, Carleton University will be the first Canadian university to offer\u00a0a professional institute to equip researchers of all kinds with tools to implement ethical practices when working with Aboriginal communities or conducting research on traditional Aboriginal<\/p>\n

territory. \u201cPositive action and change require research and we want to build an understanding of ethical best practices around the life cycle of Aboriginal research,\u201d said Katherine Graham, senior advisor to the provost. \u201cIt is important that researchers have this in their tool kits.\u201d The idea for the Institute came from a directive for the Aboriginal Education Council, a\u00a0campus advisory group\u00a0composed of community members and students, faculty and staff involved in the Indigenous community on campus. Through support from university administration, a development committee of university and community members was created to oversee the\u00a0Summer Institute’s development. The pilot built off of the directives of Chapter 9 of the Tri-Council Policy Statement 2 (TCPS2, 2014) and other policies and protocols,\u00a0including the United Nations\u00a0Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and\u00a0community-based research ethics initiatives, such as the Kahnawake Diabetes Prevention Project.The Government of Canada\u2019s Secretariat for Responsible Research provided $50,000 to support the development of the pilot. Some 30 academic and non-academic researchers and members of community organizations, as well as members of the Tri-Council,\u00a0were involved in the pilot session to develop next year\u2019s full program. The goal of the pilot was to to foster the responsible conduct of research related to the needs of Indigenous Peoples in Canada through multi-modal and multi-perspective training and through the instigation and facilitation of a vital community of practice by raising awareness about ethical considerations when conducting research with First Nations, Metis and Inuit people;\u00a0engaging all parties in the research process;\u00a0\u00a0and bridge and where appropriate, integrate traditional and academic knowledge, methodologies and pedagogies within the CUIERIP curriculum so that the institute and ensuing research of participants is respectful, relevant and of the highest ethical standard. The focus of the curriculum was on:\u00a0historical perspectives on research with Indigenous Peoples; relationship, reciprocity and community engagement; the contemporary ethics environment; the lifecycle of research and ethical considerations throughout. Pilot participants were given the opportunity to engage with the material in a hands on manner through the development of a research agreement. Participants reported that the found the Institute to have provided a\u00a0respectful space that moved the dialogue surrounding\u00a0Indigenous research ethics forward. The need for more balanced content among First Nations, Metis and Inuit perspectives was voiced, as well as for equal\u00a0valuing of considerations from\u00a0community and academic research ethics boards.<\/p>\n

Building on the advances Aboriginal communities have made in governing their own research and the feedback received through the Summer Institute pilot, Carleton has the expertise and capacity to deliver a curriculum that will provide a solid grounding in regulatory awareness and compliance for all groups who seek it, including businesses, non-profits and non-governmental organizations,\u00a0Indigenous\u00a0communities and organizations, researchers, students, faculty and members of community and academic research ethics boards. The university\u2019s goal is to share knowledge and maintain rigorous standards of cultural awareness as it seeks to expand its base to international researchers who engage in projects that directly affect\u00a0Indigenous peoples in Canada. Supporting Aboriginal communities, promoting cultural awareness and positioning Carleton as a university of choice for Aboriginal students and faculty is a key goal of Carleton\u2019s Strategic Integrated Plan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
