CAHR

Centre for Aboriginal Health Research, University of Manitoba

in 2001, the University of Manitoba, the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, and the Foundations for Health joined together to create the Centre for Aboriginal Health Research (CAHR). It replaced a research group known as the Northern Health Research Unit, which was created in 1986. CAHR, which became known as the Manitoba First Nations Centre for Aboriginal Health Research (MFN CAHR) in 2006, is known nationally and internationally for promoting research excellence through the support and development of partnership-based health research with First Nations, Metis, Inuit, and/or Indigenous communities in Manitoba, Canada, and the world. In 2017 the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, under the Vice-Dean Indigenous portfolio, launched Ongomiizwin – Indigenous Institute of Health and Healing.
