As announced on Dec. 3, 2018, Memorial will be updating research application and awards processes across the university starting July 1, 2019. This update will entail ensuring that researchers have consent from Indigenous governing bodies or groups for research done on Indigenous land and/or on Indigenous peoples, languages and cultures. For more information, see Memorial's new requirement for consent on Indigenous research.
In addition to the public consultations listed above, sessions are scheduled for Indigenous community groups, governments and NGOs. If your group would like a special consultation, please contact avp.research@mun.ca.
