Research Portal KWHB

KWHB prioritises research that demonstrates how researchers and participants can learn from each other. The research must also respect Indigenous ways of knowing.

KWHB prioritises research demonstrating an understanding of cultural and historical contexts within community settings. Research must demonstrate an awareness of, and plan for, minimising cultural harm to communities.

Research must benefit the participants and the wider Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Likewise, participants must have control over the collection and management of research materials.

Researchers should demonstrate how aims, methods and results will be communicated to participants and have processes in place for easy communication with researchers.

Researchers should demonstrate their understanding of communities and how they will build trust with participants.

There must be provisions in the research that ensure that sacred knowledge is protected and Indigenous sovereignty over data is assured.

KWHB will prioritise research that is developed and led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander researchers.
