USask Graduate Scholarship Opportunity
Faculty at USask who are SK-NEIHR members are invited to nominate their graduate students for a one-year $20,000 scholarship for a currently registered graduate student they supervise who doesn’t already hold a major award. Students cannot be beyond their third year of a Masters, or fourth year of a PhD. Students should be doing research in the areas of Indigenous health, wellness, and/or community-based research, with priority to Indigenous students (must provide documentation, see here). To apply, supervisors should send a paragraph describing the student’s area/topic of research (max 150 words), confirmation of their support as a supervisor, and that the student meets eligibility criteria (for Indigenous identity please provide documentation as described here), to skneihr@usask.ca by February 20.

SK-NEIHR joins other NEIHRS at Ottawa retreat
In late January, several Saskatchewan NEIHR people joined those from the other eight funded NEIHRs across Canada and the NEIHR National Coordinating Centre for two days in Ottawa. During this time, we learned more about what each NEIHR is doing, discussed evaluation, and met with CIHR colleagues around the NEIHRs, their renewal, and the recruitment of a new Scientific Director for CIHR’s Institute of Indigenous Health. Joining from Saskatchewan were Dr. Bobby Henry, the Nominated Principal Investigator of the Saskatchewan NEIHR, SK-NEIHR Manager Fleur Macqueen Smith, graduate student Jamie LaFleur, who holds an SK-NEIHR scholarship, and community partner Marg Friesen, Minister of Health for Métis Nation-Saskatchewan. The meeting ended with an impromptu singalong, led by Dr. Lindsay Crowshoe, NPI of the Alberta NEIHR on banjo, and Dr. Adam Murry on drum. For past events go to the [archives].
