Welcome

At this time, the IMN PN is now officially closed.

We would like to raise our hands in deep gratitude for all of your engagement with the Network, as well as your contributions to IMN PN programming and funding opportunities. We share our achievements over the last five years with all of you. 

If you would like to stay involved in and/or support Indigenous health research in BC, we recommend reaching out to our sister Network, the BC Network Environment of Indigenous Health Research (BC NEIHR) for updates, funding and other opportunities. The NEIHR will also have a copy of the final IMN PN evaluation posted on their website sometime in June 2022.

 If your email is time sensitive, please contact the Network Coordinator of the BCNEIHR, Tara Erb: [email protected]

 We wish all the best to our students, mentors, partners and supporters. 

The Indigenous Mentorship Network of the Pacific Northwest (IMN-PN) is a network of Indigenous and allied students, researchers, academics, professionals and communities across British Columbia and the Yukon.

Our Mentors and Mentees have expertise and experience in Indigenous wellness research. Our understanding of wellness research is holistic, encompassing a broad range of disciplines and methodologies that contribute to wellbeing among Indigenous peoples, communities and collectives.

We come together to support Indigenous students to pursue:

• Indigenous wellness research and knowledge translation
• Academic, cultural and professional mentorship
• Experiential learning and training activities
• Local, national and international networking
• Financial support for research and travel

The Network is generously supported by a grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and consists of our partners at Simon Fraser University, University of British Columbia,University of Northern British Columbia, and the University of Victoria.
