Dr. Paul Banahene Adjei, interim associate vice-president (Indigenous research), invites all members of the university community to a final brown bag consultation as part of the phase two review of the Research Impacting Indigenous Groups (RIIG) Policy.

During this hybrid session, Dr. Adjei will highlight the revisions to the draft and feedback provided during ongoing consultations. There will also be time for a Q&A.

Please note: in-person attendance is limited. To RSVP, or request the log-in instructions, please email IndigenousResearch@mun.ca by Dec. 4.

In May 2022 the university approved a two-phased approach to review the policy. The first phase concluded this March. During phase two, members of the university and wider communities can review the draft policy before it is brought to the President’s Executive Council, Senate and the Board of Regents for approval.

To learn more about the revised draft policy, and how to provide feedback, please see here.
