The Yukon NEIHR Development team is a group of Yukon First Nation Elders, researchers, knowledge carriers, and community-based health research experts who came together and responded to the call to begin developing a Network Environment for Indigenous Health Research (NEIHR) in the Yukon funded by CIHR.

This first phase of engagement on the NEIHR is overseen by a Yukon First Nations Advisory Committee. They are currently putting together an application for a full Operational Grant that is grounded in the relationships, knowledge, and values of all Yukon First Nations. The Development Team is supported by three partner organizations: Council of Yukon First Nations, Institute for Circumpolar Health Research, and One Yukon Coalition. These northern-based organizations are providing in-kind staff support, as well as administrative and coordination support to the Development Phase of the Yukon NEIHR.
