NCC update to research governance in response to COVID-19 pandemic

We have updated our travel policy around research governance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our Research, Education and Culture (REC) department is requesting that travel related to research conducted in NunatuKavut communities be limited to persons within the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Please contact Bryn Wood at bwood@nunatukavut.ca about research that involves travel from other areas and this work will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

This update is in support of public health measures related to self-isolation and NCC’s cohesive and collaborative approach to identifying, coordinating and facilitating initiatives related to NCC’s action around COVID-19 and other initiatives in our territory.

 NCC will continue to monitor the situation and provide notice when restrictions change.
