A key part of the NCTR’s mandate is to continue the research work begun by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and in this way contribute to the continuing healing of First Nations, Inuit, the Métis Nation and Canada as a whole. In working toward this goal, the NCTR seeks to foster and support research with its Partner Institutions.
These grants aim to support faculty members conducting research in the current focus areas of the NCTR’s research:
- Indigenous peoples’ cultural revitalization, including Indigenous peoples’ self-determination, knowledge systems, oral histories, knowledges, languages, perspectives, methodologies, laws, protocols, and connections to the land
- Gaining a broader understanding of residential school system (non-IRSSA schools, day schools, ‘60s scoop, Metis peoples’ experiences), including intergenerational impacts
- Addressing the ongoing legacies of colonialism that have had destructive impacts on Indigenous peoples’ education, cultures and languages, health, child welfare, administration of justice, and economic opportunities and prosperity
- Closing the gaps in social, health, and economic outcomes that exist between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians
There are seven grants available, each valued up to a maximum of $7,000.00. The deadline to apply is February 28, 2022.
Please refer to the attached application [Word doc] for additional details about the grants and application process.
