Indigenous data governanceIndigenous Data Governance (UofC)UofC has a list of data governance frameworks and their potential use

Many Indigenous communities have developed data governance frameworks to guide research data management. These frameworks respond to and stand against unethical, extractive, deficit-based and harmful research practices.  

“Ethical research is based fundamentally on the respect for the individuals who participate in the research project. Contrary to this, research that is conducted with First Nations has a history, an ongoing legacy of poor practice. There are fundamental flaws in research conducted to date with First Nations. Solutions to these flaws include a well designed, ethically conducted research which include protocols and codes of ethics. First Nations need to play an active role in the design of the research project. In order to achieve fundamental key principles to ethical research, IE obtaining prior informed consent, protection of privacy, confidentiality, and intellectual property.” 

 (Ethics in First Nations Research, Assembly of First Nations, 2009) 

These guidelines do not dictate specific research designs. Instead, researchers must create their own research protocols that adhere to and engage with these principles and frameworks.

Patient Engagement ResourcesPatient Centered Outcomes Research Institute

Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) helps people and their caregivers communicate and make informed healthcare decisions, allowing their voices to be heard in assessing the value of healthcare options. This research answers patient-centered questions, such as:

  1. “Given my personal characteristics, conditions, and preferences, what should I expect will happen to me?”
  2. “What are my options, and what are the potential benefits and harms of those options?”
  3. “What can I do to improve the outcomes that are most important to me?”
  4. “How can clinicians and the care delivery systems they work in help me make the best decisions about my health and health care?”
