The Director and Management Committee are very keen for NIRAKN to be inclusive, and so they have created a new category of Affiliate Membership of NIRAKN. Indigenous researchers who were not part of the initial funding application can apply to become an Affiliate Member in order to participate in network research and activities.
If you are interested in becoming an Affiliate Member, you will need to complete and return the Indigenous Researcher Affiliate Membership application form. This form is modelled on forms that all Network Members completed in applying for the grant to establish the network. The NIRAKN Management Committee assesses all applications. More information about the criteria for this assessment – and about Affiliate Membership generally – is set out on the application form.
Please contact us for a copy of the application form.
