Indigenous Mentorship Network of Ontario

About

The goal of the IMN-Ontario is to continue the excellent work that began 5 years ago to support and grow the next generation of Indigenous health scholars with an eye to serve the research needs and capacities of Ontario’s Indigenous communities and advancing Indigenous health equity along the way.

Overview

The Anishinabe concept, Mno Nimkodding Geegi (translation: “we are all connected”) was a guiding theme of the IMN-Ontario since its inception, and we will continue to honour that concept going forward as we re-affirm a commitment to growing and supporting community-based health and well-being research and training opportunities for Indigenous trainees and researchers in Ontario.

We invite all students (current, prospective, and/or past) and Indigenous communities and organizations interested in Indigenous health and well-being research to join our mailing list. We welcome general inquiries and/or requests to facilitate connections with our mentors and their research, please email our Coordinator: imn@mcmaster.ca

Opportunities

The IMN-O will offer annual opportunities including summer institutes, webinars, scholarships and seed grants. Please contact us if you have questions about how the IMN-O can support you!
