The National First Nations Environmental Contaminants Program (NFNECP)
The NFNECP is a collaborative initiative that supports community-based research on environmental contaminants trends in relation to human health focusing on First Nations communities south of the 60th parallel. The program is designed to address issues of national impact that are common to First Nations across Canada. Projects inform communities about potential risks, enable them to make better decisions, and help initiate or influence remediation on the foundation of better knowledge.
Research Projects are funded through the submission and evaluation of Research Proposals from First Nations Communities.
Drinking Water Quality Program (DWQP)
A sister project of the NFNECP that facilitates funds to proposals related directly to drinking water quality.
