The Kaianishkat project operates with a coordinating team, a supervisory committee and an advisory committee. Its objective is to train community-based researchers within a network. The coordinating team deals with the daily tasks to implement of the project, the follow-up with the researchers and organization of the different meetings. The team also produced the training tools included on this website. The team consists of the project coordinator, the project officer from the Service aux collectivités and the professor responsible of the project.
