The Nursing in Indigenous Research in Action (NIRA) Chairs 2027 is a multi-institute, strategic initiative designed to advance Indigenous-led, community-driven nursing research that responds to priorities identified by First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities, organizations, public health and health care systems. The program will support Chairs to generate and mobilize knowledge that strengthen Indigenous health nursing, improve population health and health equity, improve health care experiences and outcomes, address systemic inequities and the social/structural determinants of health, advance cultural safety and anti-racist care, and support Indigenous students, trainees, nurses, emerging scholars, and knowledge users across the lifespan.
The NIRA Chairs 2027 builds on the foundation of the 2019 Indigenous Research Chairs in Nursing Program (IRCN), which supported research to identify and advance best and wise practices for Indigenous nursing practice, education, research, and administration. The NIRA Chairs 2027 expands this foundation through dedicated chair funding, regional and national networking, mentorship, knowledge sharing, and governance approaches grounded in Indigenous self-determination, relational accountability, and community-defined benefit. To effectively fulfil these objectives while advancing the research capacity of Indigenous scholars, new chairs are intended to support applicants who identify as First Nations, Inuit, and Métis nurses.
