The University of Saskatchewan (U of S) will be the new home of the Institute of Indigenous Peoples’ Health (IIPH).

The IIPH was established in February 2017 as part of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), with a mandate to improve the health and well-being of Indigenous people through research and knowledge, while engaging the Aboriginal community in every project.

IIPH is currently headed by Dr. Carrie Bourassa, who will continue in her role when the institute relocates from Sudbury, Ont., to Saskatoon.

“My priority is to lead efforts to strengthen Indigenous health research to improve the health and well-being of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples in Canada,” Bourassa said in a statement.
