Tribes asked about health priorities.

Vancouver, British Columbia-based University of British Columbia's Aboriginal health research institute, B.C. ACADRE, officially opened on May 21, 2003. The B.C. ACADRE name is an acronym for Aboriginal Capacity and Developmental Research Environment. ACADRE are Aboriginal health research institutes set up by the federal government through the Institute of Aboriginal Peoples Health, which is one of the 13 institutes making up the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. "We're reviewing what the communities set up as health priorities," said B.C. ACADRE coordinator Kim Brooks. The goal of B.C. ACADRE is to have research topics be community driven, and not for communities to be mere objects of study.
