The Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases researchers’ statement on non-communicable disease research with Indigenous peoples

To ensure effective Indigenous representation and guidance to develop GACD Indigenous research initiatives, the GACD’s Indigenous Population Working Group (IPWG) have prepared a statement to guide future research activities to-

a) Promote the application of implementation science in Indigenous contexts;

b) Co-design research with Indigenous Peoples that align with their goals, values and perspectives;

c) Promote culturally safe research practices guided by Indigenous epistemologies, methodologies, and practices (i.e. Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing);

d) Promote research that responds to the knowledge needs expressed by Indigenous communities;

e) Increase the research capability of Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous researchers to develop and lead research that addresses their concerns, and;

f) Advocate for additional funding to support collaborative research with Indigenous communities.
