Research partnership seeks to improve health outcomes for Treaty First Nations children and families in Alberta

A new Indigenous-led research partnership between the First Nations Health Consortium, the University of Alberta, and the University of Calgary aims to improve health outcomes for children, youth, and families in Treaty First Nations across Alberta. The collaboration focuses on building trust and taking action by combining the lived experience of Treaty First Nations communities with academic strengths to create meaningful health improvements. The agreement emphasizes data sovereignty, community knowledge, and strengths-based research relationships, serving as a roadmap for community-led health research to address priority health issues.
