Transnational Collaborating Group on Aboriginal Boy’s and Men’s Health

Research theme:

Health and wellbeing

Project status:

Past

This project examines ways that the Canadian Institute of Gender and Health and the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies might be able to collaborate. There seems to be a growing interest in the indigenous men’s health. Australia, in general has been seen as a great source of expertise in the field of men’s health. While the Institute of Gender and Health (IGH) of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) is the first, and remains the worlds’ only, health research funding institute with a specific focus on gender, sex and health.
