The Sahtu Land Claim Agreement allows the SRRB to participate in wildlife research. "It is intended that the Board have an independent research capability, to the extent agreed by government and which does not duplicate research which is otherwise available to it." (13.8.38)

The SRRB may conduct research on renewable resources found in the SSA and assists other researchers undertaking scientific studies in the region. The Renewable Resource Councils participate in the majority of research projects conducted in or near their own community. All research done in the SSA allows the SRRB to prepare and provide appropriate input into Government and other agencies' policies, regulations, legislation, and initiatives as well as assist in the development and review of renewable resources management plans for the SSA.

 

Research Funding

In accordance with the 1993 Sahtu Dene and Metis Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement, the Sahtu Renewable Resources Board (SRRB) has funds available to support research associated with management of renewable resources in the Sahtu Settlement Area (SSA). Researchers interested in applying for funds from the SRRB should complete an Application for Renewable Resource Project Funding and return it to the Executive Director, SRRB, at the above address by 15 January.

Applicants will be advised of the status of their funding request by 15 March. The SRRB is primarily concerned with management of wildlife, fisheries, forestry and other renewable resources of value to claimants and non-claimants in the SSA. Projects must deal with renewable resources in the SSA and proponents must have begun the consultation process with the community Renewable Resources Councils in order to be considered for funding. Priority will be given to projects that have management value in the SSA and technical merit. Preference will also be given to those projects for which costs are shared with other agencies and to projects that directly involve beneficiaries from Sahtu communities.
