Research
National and international research collaborations are key components of the ED model. This entails national and global collaborations with university researchers and research networks. Locally an on-going Participant Action Research (PAR) process informs practice. In 2015 the ED organized the Elsipogtog Education Wellness Ethics Committee to guide research undertaken in the community.
The Eastern Door is involved at the present time in two CIHR projects. One is an Indigenous Catalyst Grant looking at how to use a TES process in assessing Iron Deficiency. The other is a NEIHR grant looking at the development of a model for an Indigenous research center in the Atlantic Provinces.
There have been some external research studies done on the ED programs. Links to them are found below:
