Dr. Tait is a citizen of MNWR2. An advisory committee made up of Elders and patients, family members and donors (PFDs) from MNWR2 will oversee the project. The objectives of the project are: to understand M\u00e9tis perceptions of organ donation (living or deceased) and transplantation; 2. with M\u00e9tis community members, identify culturally safe pathways for growing a culture of organ donation.<\/p>\n<p>The methodology used for data collection includes a survey questionnaire, open ended qualitative interviews, and focus groups. M\u00e9tis Elders and PFDs will guide the project\u2019s research activities working closely with Dr. Tait and her research assistant. The methodology privileges the voices of M\u00e9tis people, including highlighting the diverse and varied vantage points of community members. The potential impact of the project is that it will raise awareness and create dialogue among M\u00e9tis people in north-central Saskatchewan about ODT, specifically the potential pathways to growing a culture of donation. The project is also amenable to future scaling up to include M\u00e9tis, First Nations and Inuit populations across Canada.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:30px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-double sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;border-color:#e0dede;border-top-width:1px;border-bottom-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/announcing-the-results-of-the-2025-cdtrp-research-innovation-grant-competition-11-new-projects-funded\/\"><strong>View the results of the 2025 CDTRP Research Innovation Grant Competition.<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-fontsize=\"20\" data-lineheight=\"30px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/cdtrp-innovation-grant-winners\/\">View past CDTRP Innovation Grants recipients here.<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":33083,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","category-featured"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33086"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33086"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33086\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33089,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33086\/revisions\/33089"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
