Māori Research Assessment

A Māori research assessment is part of the Te Whatu Ora - Waitematā locality authorisation process. It is a service provided to employees of the Te Whatu Ora - Waitematā. If you are not an employee, identifying a Te Whatu Ora - Waitematā employee to collaborate with will gain you access. The Te Whatu Ora - Waitematā researcher will be named as the contact person on the Māori Review Form and will be some one who is able to actively help with the Research & Knowledge Centre registration and the Māori review process. Te Whatu Ora - Waitematā researchers can access further details and documents on the Māori Health Research intranet site.

A pre-requisite to accessing a Māori research review at Te Whatu Ora - Waitematā is evidence of Māori involvement in the study development or discussions with Māori experts such as Māori responsiveness teams, Vision Mātauranga leads, Māori providers, Māori peers and Māori researchers.

Te Whatu Ora - Waitematā and Auckland recognise there is a need to standardise Māori research assessment processes across the Auckland Region. With this in mind He Kamaka Waiora have established a list of reputable Māori reviewers to review private sector research applications. There is a charge for this service. If you require this service please email: hkwresearch@waitematadhb.govt.nz
