All in-person data collection for FEHNCY is currently on hold to comply with the physical and social distancing recommendations issued by the provincial and federal governments. The FEHNCY team will be starting online key informant interviews in the fall, 2020 and will continue modifying the project methods, timeline, and protocols in collaboration with First Nation partners to adapt to the current circumstances. We are committed to resuming all FEHNCY activities when it is safe to do so and when participating First Nations are ready.
PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS
OUR STAFF
Three main types of researchers will be hired from each First Nation to help conduct the study:
Community Advisory Circle: Members of the participating First Nation will form a committee to advise on all project matters. They will also be asked to reflect on the meaning of the results for their community and determine how the results can be best used to address important local health and environment issues.
National Advisory Board: The purpose of the advisory board is to bring unique leadership, knowledge and connections which augment the knowledge and skills of the FEHNCY Principal Investigators in order to more effectively guide the study in a way that is sensitive and attentive to the needs of First Nations people. The Advisory is made up of regional First Nations leaders and academics, including youth, government representatives, and representative FEHNCY PIs. The Board will meet twice a year.
