HRC career development award recipient Dr Jonni Koia is returning to New Zealand to investigate the potential of traditional Māori herbal medicines to help combat type-2 diabetes.
A new HRC-funded study aims to find out if changes to our neighbourhoods could encourage kids to be more physically active – and help reduce New Zealand’s childhood obesity epidemic.
Waikato University research fellow Dr Byron Seiuli has been recognised for his significant contribution to supporting Pacific men facing trauma and mental health challenges.
The HRC is seeking applications from New Zealand-based researchers who have demonstrated collaborations and linkages with US-based researchers, with a specific focus on the determinants and prevention of childhood obesity.
