Module 4: Next Steps in Research Action

Welcome to Module 4 of the Indigenous Community Research Partnerships (ICRP) online open education training resource. This resource is designed to assist researchers who are new to research in partnerships with Inuit, Métis and First Nations (“Indigenous”) communities, or who are researchers-in-training, to:

• Operationalize required regulatory policy requirements and research directives;
• Ensure equitable inclusion of Indigenous and Western-oriented knowledge in research systems;
• And, in the case of Indigenous-specific enquiry, to privilege or give primacy to Indigenous ways of knowing and doing.

Module 4 provides you with opportunities to try out learning and the next steps for taking action, as well as to share your learning. You will demonstrate your learning and contribute your knowledge to the community of practice. In module 4, you will:

• Evaluate how a principled approach to research with Indigenous people can be used in research;
• List and identify how to promote engagement of researchers with community members; and
• Demonstrate how a principled approach to research can be conducted in specific contexts.
