This guide was written as a follow-up, and complement, to the 1998 joint Nunavut Research Institute/Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami booklet entitled Negotiating Research Relationships: A Guide for Communities. That guide was written to help Inuit community members understand their rights and responsibilities in negotiating research relationships. This guide is written to help researchers: understand some community concerns and expectations in relation to researchprojects; understand the benefits, opportunities and challenges associated with engaging Inuit communities in research; determine appropriate levels of community involvement in various researchstages; initiate community contact and begin the process of negotiating a research relationship; clarify the research licensing processes and timelines and establish early contact with organizations responsible for research coordination, permitting, and licensing in each of the Canadian Inuit regions, and; choose appropriate and effective means to communicate research results to communities.Ultimately, this guide aims to improve the process of negotiating research relationships with Inuit communities in Canada.
