Grants and Contributions

This proposal aims to foster a strong, meaningful, and well-resourced partnership between ITK and POLAR. By enhancing ITK’s research coordination capacity, this initiative will ensure that research conducted in Inuit Nunangat aligns with Inuit priorities, as outlined in the National Inuit Strategy on Research (NISR). Training and capacity building will be embedded throughout this partnership to ensure sustained Inuit leadership and participation in research.

Reaching Home aims to prevent and reduce homelessness across Canada. This is accomplished by mobilizing partners at the federal, provincial/territorial and community levels, as well as the private and voluntary sectors, and other stakeholders, to address barriers to well-being faced by those who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness.

The purpose of this contribution is to provide funding to conduct research and prepare reports and recommendations through engagement with Inuit on policing and community safety priorities.

As Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK) (formerly Inuit Tapirisat of Canada) celebrates its 50th year, this project aims to digitize and make accessible vital records and publications from its founding decade.

Through the application of national and local priorities, the CSJ program seeks to provide youth, particularly those who face barriers to employment with access to work opportunities. Funded employers must demonstrate that they are providing quality work experiences for youth that provide opportunities to develop and improve their skills.

The objective of the IRP is to improve the ability of (SPO)s to participate in the social finance market (i.e. secure a repayable investment), as well as to engage in procurement and outcomes-based funding opportunities by: • Enabling SPOs to gain a variety of skills and competencies along the investment readiness continuum; • Supporting the readiness of established expert services providers to provide nation-wide capacity-building services to SPOs in one or more key area along the investment readiness continuum; and • Supporting the advancement of Canada’s SI/SF ecosystems by responding to identified system-level gaps (e.g. building the capacities of social finance intermediaries, advancing impact measurement, and supporting SI/SF awareness and knowledge mobilization).

The Inuit Research Network Development Grant is expected to:

• Support Inuit to determine regional readiness and capacity to create an Inuit health research network;
• Catalyze partnerships among Inuit and potential team members including researchers, knowledge-users and/or partners; and
• Identify the principles and priorities that could form the basis of a full Inuit Research Network Grant application.

Activities are based around a continuous feedback model and fall under streams, policy and program development and information dissemination. These streams involve four primary areas of work; stakeholder engagement, policy and program partnership development, collaborative policy and program developmet and policy implementation. The feedback model will be shared and focused on joint priorities, engaging with stakeholders and communities, retaining expertise, collaboratively developing program and policy and review and monitoring.

Funding will be provided to Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK) for capacity-building support on topics related to Intellectual Property, Indigenous Knowledge, and cultural Expressions.
