The Aurora Research Instute works to building a northern knowledge base by coordinating community-based research activities, promoting technological development, documenting research undertaken in the North and supporting and facilitating research.

The Aurora Research Institute works to connect the scientific community with the communities of the NWT by promoting and supporting studies that improve the understanding of the natural resources and traditional knowledge and cultures of the NWT. In doing so, the Aurora Research Institute has taken a comprehensive approach to determining the research needs and interests of the communities within all regions of the NWT and all disciplines of study.

The programs at the Aurora Research Institute have historically been, and will continue to be, developed and implemented through partnerships with community agencies in the North.

To enhance our delivery we have implemented an online survey engine and, while we have used this in past survey efforts, we are also investigating ongoing surveys to provide more frequent results.

If you have any questions about our online surveys, including possible assistance with using our online surveys for your own research projects, please contact us at surveys@nwtresearch.com.
