List of Funded Projects

The Northern Contaminants Program (NCP) allocates funds for research and related activities addressing immediate health and safety issues associated with contaminants in traditionally harvested foods. 

Projects are funded yearly under four main subprograms:

• Human Health Research, to better assess, understand and manage the health risks in northern Canada related to the long-range transport of contaminants.
  
  
• Environmental Trends Related to Human Health and International Management, to monitor contaminant levels and trends in Arctic air and biota; provide early warning support to the assessment of human health; and support reviews of the effectiveness and sufficiency of international agreements
  
  
• Education and Communications, to ensure that individuals and communities in the North receive the information needed to assist informed decision making in their food use
  
  
• National/Regional Coordination and Aboriginal Partnerships, to ensure the coordination of program activities and that appropriate communications and participation occur with respect to northern communities.
