ITK: National Inuit Strategy On Research – Implementation Plan

September 25, 2018

Implementation of the National Inuit Strategy on Research (NISR) requires a coordinated approach based on partnership. The NISR Implementation Plan identifies potential government and academic partners required to facilitate this process and reach the key milestones for the 5-year time frame.

Introduction

The National Inuit Strategy on Research (NISR) was released in March 2018 by Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK). The NISR Implementation Plan (NISR IP) is a companion document based on the priorities, objectives and actions identified in the NISR. The NISR IP provides the necessary details for shared action to occur and will serve to coordinate the implementation of the NISR by rights holders and the many stakeholders involved in Inuit Nunangat research. The NISR IP has been developed as a living document outlining a plan for the first phase of implementing the NISR (2018-2023) and as such will continue to be reviewed and adapted. It is dependent on the mobilization of human and capital resources by both rights holders and stakeholders. The ITK Board of Directors approved the NISR IP in August 2018.

The NISR IP is divided into three sections: section 1 provides a vision for governance and collaboration to achieve the objectives of the NISR along with proposed roles and responsibilities for rights holders and stakeholders; section 2 outlines an engagement and communication plan for the implementation of the NISR; section 3 contains a detailed table for each of the NISR priority areas itemizing deliverables and milestones required to achieve each action, target dates for completion, and organizations that will need to be involved in various capacities.
