“…Several publications described Indigenous or Tribal governments, councils and entities that exercise governance of research and data. This included tribal governments or councils that administer grants and contract and/or engage in research, and data collection activities/surveys [ 17 , 25 , 35 , 38 , 47 , 49 , 66 , 70 , 71 ]. Specifically, the following examples were seen in the literature: Inter-tribal health boards/councils administering and controlling research in their territories [ 35 , 49 ].…”

There is increasing potential to improve the research and reporting on the health and wellbeing of Indigenous and Tribal peoples through the collection and (re)use of population-level data. As the data economy grows and the value of data increases, the optimization of data pertaining to Indigenous peoples requires governance that defines who makes decisions on behalf of whom and how these data can and should be used. An international a priori PROSPERO (#CRD42020170033) systematic review was undertaken to examine the health research literature to (1) identify, describe, and synthesize definitions and principles; (2) identify and describe data governance frameworks; and (3) identify, describe, and synthesize processes, policies and practices used in Indigenous Data Governance (ID-GOV). Sixty-eight articles were included in the review that found five components that require consideration in the governance of health research data pertaining to Indigenous people. This included (1) Indigenous governance; (2) institutional ethics; (3) socio-political dynamics; (4) data management and data stewardship; and (5) overarching influences. This review provides the first systematic international review of ID-GOV that could potentially be used in a range of governance strategies moving forward in health research.

“…It is increasingly argued that the Arctic would benefit from public policies that better support and promote a broad definition of innovation -often defined as the creation of something new (e.g., product, process, practice or relationship) (see Hintsala et al, 2015;Oksanen and Hautamäki, 2015;Hall et al, 2017;Healy, 2017;Pigford et al, 2017;Exner-Pirot, 2018;Hall, 2020). Arctic leaders have called for investments that support northern-driven, solution-focused partnerships that can address community needs and foster local innovation (Audla and Smith, 2014;GY et al, 2016;ITK, 2016;Ogden et al, 2016;Healy, 2017;ITK, 2018). Examples include the creation of new northern specific technologies that can support communities to deal with and adapt to the consequences of climate change (e.g., thawing permafrost, declining sea ice).…”

“…This is especially true when scientific and technological domains come together alongside Indigenous and local knowledge (Healy, 2017). It is worth noting that the current Arctic scientific landscape is a result of ongoing efforts by Arctic leaders to address exclusionary research structures and to advocate for Arctic scientific research that can meet public needs and deliver innovative outcomes (Audla and Smith, 2014;GY et al, 2016;Ogden et al, 2016;ITK, 2018;Obed, 2018). With the Arctic quickly becoming one of the most researched contexts in the world (Nilsson and Koivurova, 2016;ITK, 2018), there is a recognized need to address significant knowledge gaps concerning how Arctic scientific research is organized within innovation efforts (Kofinas et al, 2020).…”

In remote peripheral regions like the Arctic, research networks have been identified as an important mechanism for nurturing science-informed innovation. Given that relatively little is known about the network structures that support Arctic innovation processes, we employ social network analysis techniques to examine the structural organization and evolution of ArcticNet, a large Canadian Arctic scientific research network over a 13-year period (2004 – 17). ArcticNet funded 152 multidisciplinary research teams, connecting multiple types of science-based innovation actors, not including students (301 organizations and 1659 individuals). The research network grew without reaching saturation (increasing size, decreasing density), suggesting that ArcticNet was successful in recruiting new actors over the 13-year period. ArcticNet was centralized around non-local, public-sector actors (mainly Canadian academics). The emergence of collaborations across several boundaries (sectoral, geographic, thematic) suggests that non-local Canadian academic actors played an important boundary-spanning role, particularly in the early stages of the network. Participation by local northern actors doubled from Phase 1 to Phase 4, and with time, local northern actors had an increasing propensity for carrying out boundary-spanning roles and addressing structural holes. This study presents new insights into the networked nature of Arctic scientific research with potential implications for future research and innovation policy.

Academic research plays a key role in developing understanding of sustainability issues in the Canadian Arctic, yet northern organizations and governments struggle to find research that is relevant, respectful of local interests, and that builds local capacity. Northern science and research policies communicate expectations for how research should be prioritized, planned, conducted, and disseminated. They discuss northern leadership of research and outline the diverse roles that northerners and northern organizations could fill in research programs and projects. Many of these documents are founded on the need for research to improve environmental, economic, and social sustainability in the Canadian North and provide insight into how academia can support a northern-led Arctic sustainability research agenda. The goal of this study is to examine northern research-policy documents to identify commonalities amongst the goals and priorities of northern organizations and their shared expectations for research in northern Canada. The objectives are to understand how organizations expect researchers to engage in and conduct research, how research programs can align with northern science policy objectives, and how academic research can support policy and decision-making related to sustainability. Through a quantitative content analysis combined with a qualitative thematic analysis, this comprehensive review examines research policy, strategy, guidance, and program documents produced by northern and northern-focused governments and Indigenous organizations. Relationships, partnership, and communication are the foundations of relevant and applicable research, requiring both resources and time for local and partner participation. Our analysis shows that researchers should consider potential policy applications for sustainability research early on in the development of research projects, ensuring that relevant local and policy partners are involved in designing the project and communicating results.
