Co-production of knowledge is a collaborative process where different knowledge systems work together on equal footing to develop shared insights and new understandings. In this context, it refers to bringing Northern Indigenous knowledge systems and western scientific approaches together. The Connections & Co-production Grant supports this approach by funding activities for the purpose of building initial relationships between community members and researchers at the start of a new project, and/or co-designing or co-developing a new research project where existing relationships already exist. This grant addresses the funding barriers to building trust at the early stages of new projects or new collaborations, and aims to encourage research co-production in a good way. It is designed to help our network respond to #2 and #3 of the 10 Calls to Action[1] in order to work toward reconciliation in Arctic research (see Wong et al. 2020). More specifically, the Connections & Co-production Grant seeks to support the development and early implementation of the ‘conceptual tools’ presented in the outermost ring of Figure 1 (i.e. trust and respect, relationships, etc.) and the early steps of research development, as shown in the next ring inward, the ‘action ring’, of Figure 1 (i.e. problem definition, identifying research questions, and/or developing methods; Yua et al. 2022). Please note that this grant does not fund data collection or analysis. Funding for returning results/research applications is available through our Knowledge Mobilization Grant.
The Connections & Co-production Grants are between $20,000 - $30,000 for one year.
[1] From Wong et al. (2020, p. 772): “Call 2: We call on natural scientists to recognize that generating knowledge about the land is a goal shared with Indigenous peoples and to seek meaningful relationships and possible collaboration for better outcomes for all involved” and “Call 3: We call on natural scientists to enable knowledge sharing and knowledge co-production” (p. 774).
