The CIHR-funded research project “Supporting Vulnerable and Older Adults to be Cared for and to Die at ‘Home’” is being conducted with direction from the Urban Indigenous Guidance Circle (UIGC). The Palliative Approaches to Care in Aging and Community Health team, housed within the Institute on Aging and Lifelong Health, is currently seeking to recruit one or two Indigenous Graduate Students for a unique opportunity to serve as members of the UIGC for a minimum one-year term. A stipend of $5,000 per year will be provided to the successful applicant. Applications are due by March 1, 2025, and can be emailed to the project coordinator, Ami Bitschy, at amice@uvic.ca.

For more information on the application process, the UIGC, or the research project, please refer to the attached Call for Expressions of Interest document.
