The outer ring of the graphic is inspired by the traditional native medicine wheel, with the four colors representing the focus on the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical health. The eagle, a traditional symbol of protection, is combined with the scales, a symbol representative of justice and ethics, to form a caduceus – a modern representation of Western medicine. Lines drawn from the edge of the outer ring toward the center in the fashion of a dreamcatcher form an inukshuk. The interconnectedness of the design illustrates Labrador Innu, Inuit, and Inuit-Metis people working together. As a whole the graphic symbolizes the dream of combining traditional and modern medicine, while focusing on the importance of health research ethics Logo description

Workshop Overview Background Historical context of research Aboriginal research ethics movement Tri Council Policy Statement draft 2 nd edition Ethics framework Research involving aboriginal peoples Discussion

Underlying questions How can research proceed responsibly against a backdrop of colonialism and inequity? What is the role of community involvement in research? Where does the paradigm of individual informed consent break down and why?

Historical Context of Research Indian Act Residential Schools Nuu chulth nuth “It is necessary to view contemporary ethical standards for Aboriginal health research within a broader historical context and through both aboriginal and western scientific perspectives” (CIHR Guidelines for Research Involving Aboriginal Peoples, pg. 10)

Ethical Framework Respect for human dignity – Concern for welfare – Respect for autonomy – Respect for the equal moral status of all humans “…both researchers and REB members [have to] navigate a sometimes difficult course between insufficient protection and overprotection of research Participants” (TCPS, draft 2 nd edition pg. 4)

Ethical Framework Ethics Framework in Aboriginal Contexts “broadens the focus of ethics to consider individuals imbedded in relationships in their physical, social, economic and cultural environments.”

Research Ethics Response RCAP (1996) CIHR-IAPH (2001) – ACADRE/NEAHR Romanow (2002) OCAP (2002) PRE Revisions to Section 6 TCPS (2003) AEWG (2004) CIHR Draft for Consultation (2005) CIHR Guidelines – Released (2007) – Implemented (2008) TCPS draft 2 nd edition (2009)

Complex endeavor – Community protocols and institutional policies – Multiple geographic or urban communities “ Researchers and REB members unfamiliar with the changing context of Aboriginal research are advised to consult reference documents that provide a fuller exploration” (TCPS, draft 2 nd edition pg. 94) Applying the TCPS

Research Processes & Ethics Review Article 9.1 Researchers and research ethics boards should consider whether application of the core principles of this Policy require interpretation or adaptation in the context of proposed research involving Aboriginal participants, to demonstrate respect for Aboriginal rights and cultural heritage, the integrity of Indigenous knowledge systems, and the diversity among and within Aboriginal communities

Inform REBs on Community Engagement Article 9.2 Researchers are to inform the research ethics board of how they have engaged or intend to engage the community in approving, advising on or managing the project.

Research on First Nations, Inuit or Métis Territory Requires Consultation Article 9.3 Researchers are required to consult with formal leaders of the territory or administrators of the settlement Agreement (except as provided under Articles 9.7 and 9.8).

Research Requires Consultation Article 9.4 Researchers are required to obtain free, and informed consent of individual participants in research projects involving Aboriginal people*, and in addition to group engagement, where appropriate. * in accordance with provisions of Chapter 3 (“Free and Informed Consent”)

Respect for Community Ethics Codes and Protocols (1 of 2) Article 9.5 Researchers and REBs shall take into consideration the code or protocol that applies in the territory or organization. The similarity, divergence or overlap of such code or protocol with the TCPS, and clarification of mutual expectations, should be considered by all parties in advance of launching a particular project. Application

Respect for Community Ethics Codes and Protocols (2 of 2) Article 9.6 Researchers should consider entering into research agreements with those Aboriginal communities who have adopted ethics codes or protocols, as a means of clarifying and confirming mutual expectations and commitments between researchers and communities.

Community Engagement at Variance with Operative Protocols Article 9.7 Where alternatives to community, regional or organization protocols are deemed necessary to ensure the inclusion or safety of participants or the achievement of research objectives, the researcher shall describe such alternatives and provide a rationale to the research ethics board for pursuing them.

Critical Inquiry Article 9.8 Research that critically examines the conduct of public institutions or persons in authority may do so ethically, notwithstanding the usual requirement, in research involving Aboriginal peoples, of engaging representative leaders. In such cases care should be taken to ensure sensitivity to culture and community contexts.

Privacy and Confidentiality Article 9.9 In the context of community-based research collaboration, researchers, research ethics boards and community partners should consider early in the design of the research how community protocols on data custody and confidentiality fit with provisions for privacy set out in Chapter 5 (“Privacy and Confidentiality”) in order to resolve any inconsistencies.

Protection of Indigenous and Cultural Knowledge Article 9.10 Researchers should consider, and research ethics boards should review, whether tangible or intangible cultural property of Aboriginal persons or communities is at risk of misuse or misappropriation when collected in the context of research involving Aboriginal participants or communities. Researchers should include measures to mitigate such risks of misuse or misappropriation in the research ethics review proposal.

Secondary Use of Data Article 9.11 Consistent with the general provisions set out in Chapter 5 (“Privacy and Confidentiality), secondary use of data collected initially for other purposes, from which personal identifiers have been removed, does not require research ethics board (REB) review. Secondary use of data that is identifiable as originating from a specific community, or a segment of the Aboriginal community at large, requires REB review and may warrant seeking culturally informed advice about protection of cultural property or representations of Indigenous knowledge or society. Application

Benefits of Research (1 of 2) Article 9.12 Communities should have access to data important to their own planning and development processes, with protections for privacy and confidentiality of personal data as noted in this chapter

Benefits of Research (2 of 2) Article 9.13 Researchers should endeavour, where appropriate and possible, to share costs and benefits of research equitably between researchers, institutions and Aboriginal communities, including personnel and administrative costs of collaborating in ethics review and project oversight.

Other sections Human Genetic Research Research Involving Indigenous Peoples in Other Countries

REB Review (1 of 2) Article 9.14 Research ethics boards (REBs) reviewing research involving Aboriginal participants and communities on a recurring basis should ensure that they have access to relevant expertise within regular REB membership, through ad hoc consultation with knowledgeable academic and community advisors, or through collaboration with community ethics review bodies.

REB Review (2 of 2) Article 9.15 Researchers and research ethics boards should recognize that ethics review by community bodies will often pursue purposes and apply criteria that differ from the provisions of this Policy. It is therefore inappropriate to insist on uniformity between community practices and institutional policies. The objective of engagement between researchers and community entities should be to find common ground, anticipate differences, and resolve conflicts that might interfere with ethical protection of participants and achievement of research goals.
