The Journal of Indigenous HIV Research (JIHR) is an annual on-line journal published through the AHA Centre, by the Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network (CAAN) as a service to its members and anyone with an interest in Indigenous community-based research (CBR). This year, we've chosen the theme of 'Capacity Bridging' as the focus of Volume 12. This concept was introduced during the Visioning Health project, and further built upon by AHA Centre Co-Director, Dr. Charlotte Loppie. Initially, the term Capacity Bridging came from a desire to do the work of Visioning Health from a strengths-based approach to research.
The term capacity building is seen to be paternalistic, often referring to non-Indigenous academics ‘teaching’ Indigenous peoples about research. Capacity bridging more appropriately represents our reality — Indigenous communities, collectives and organizations possess numerous capacities to plan, to organize, to operationalize and to lead. Communities simply require supports and opportunities to bridge those capacities in the context of research and within what Indigenous scholar Willie Ermine refers to as the Ethical Space, where Indigenous worldview, knowledge systems and practices are valued, acknowledged and used to ground research (Ermine, 2007). |

Similarly, many non-Indigenous researchers understand the fundamentals of healthy relationships and equity. They require the appropriate environment and support in which to transfer those relational capacities to their research work. For more information, please check out our resources page on the AHA website.
The JIHR welcomes contributions from any author, however, priority will be given to innovative articles that cover areas identified as HIV research, as well as research conducted on Hepatitis C, STBBIs, mental health, aging and chronic diseases associated with HIV. Articles should demonstrate the use of Indigenous and/ or Community-Based Research (CBR) methods or philosophy among Indigenous peoples in Canada. Articles written from a strengths-based perspective are strongly encouraged. Authors are also encouraged to highlight how the principles of GIPA (Greater Involvement of People Living with HIV) and MEPA (Meaningful Engagement of People Living with HIV) have been applied throughout all research processes, including manuscript submissions.
