The Aurora Research Institute (ARI) maintains a collection of scientific research licence information for studies conducted within the NWT. ARI has developed the NWT Research Database to make this research licensing data publicly available. We’re planning future iterations of this database which will include an expanding scope of research content, such as information from our annual compendium publication which includes summaries from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (fisheries research summaries), Wildlife Division of the Government of the Northwest Territories – Department of Environment and Natural Resources (wildlife research summaries) and the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre (archaeological research summaries).
This database is a compilation of license information from various processes that have been in place for administering the NWT Scientists Act since 1974. In this database we’ve made records available from present back to 1974 and we’re currently processing to make available all licences back to 1954.
