The HRC has announced $650,000 in funding for four Ngā Kanohi Kitea Māori knowledge and development research grants.
This funding provides an opportunity for iwi, hapū and community groups to investigate a community identified area of Māori health need. It is targeted at groups who have not had significant research funding, but who want to build their capability and knowledge in this area.
The HRC is pleased to support community organisations in leading research driven by their own needs. Because of their unique position, these groups have great potential to make real changes in their communities.
