About Us:
The Can-SOLVE CKD Network is Canada’s largest-ever kidney research initiative. We are a national partnership of patients, researchers, health care providers, and policy-makers working to transform treatment and care for Canadians affected by chronic kidney disease. Our network coordinates and conducts innovative research using a patient-oriented approach.
The Indigenous Peoples’ Engagement and Research Council (IPERC) guides the conduct of the Can-SOLVE CKD’s Network’s activities in accounting for the unique aspects of patient-oriented research involving First Nations, Inuit, and Métis. IPERC’s mandate is to ensure that Can-SOLVE CKD appropriately incorporates, addresses and respects the unique needs and perspectives of Indigenous peoples.
Members of IPERC developed the Wabishki Bizhiko Skaanj (White Horse in Anishinaabe language) Learning Pathway, which aims to increase researcher’s awareness and competency on engaging with Indigenous communities and individuals in research. The learning pathway includes several training components. One of them is called: Knowledge Keepers in Research.
In 2019 we completed the creation of a “Knowledge Keepers in Research” virtual guidebook that aims to create a culturally safe space for researchers, patient partners and Knowledge Keepers to come together. It will encourage researchers to honour and uphold various forms of knowledge alongside Indigenous Knowledge Keepers and help translate those teachings into practice. By centering Indigenous ways of knowing and fostering cultural competency, this learning marker is working to close the gaps in kidney health outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities.
