NICSN Research Consortium

Hi everybody,

I'm pleased to see that the team is moving these discussions from email to this environment.  It will make it much more easier for the communities to participate in this project and share their ideas.  Franz had a good idea yesterday at our teleconference.  We need to share the vision of the project with community members within our spheres.  For instance, next week the KO education directors will be in Thunder Bay for a two-day meeting.  I can raise the research constorium work then.  Jordan is working with the EDOs to set up a vc to share what he learned at the "train the trainers" gathering last month in Vancouver.  And Franz has ongoing work with the KO Health Directors where he will have the opportunity to tell about this project.  I don't know the date of the next Chiefs meeting, but, they have been briefed on the project at their last meeting. They will need an update the next time they get together.
