It's time to have your say on how the national health research priorities for New Zealand are set.
The Health Research Council (HRC), Ministry of Health, and Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment have been working together to implement the New Zealand Health Research Strategy 2017-2027 (NZHRS). The vision is that by 2027, New Zealand will have a world-leading health research and innovation system that, through excellent research, improves the health and wellbeing of all New Zealanders.
The HRC is leading Strategic Priority 1, Action 1 of the NZHRS, which states that an inclusive priority-setting process will take place.
We are proposing a process to consult broadly and bring together some of the best people, both nationally and internationally, so that we can gain a shared understanding of what health research questions need to be answered here in New Zealand.
Your input on the priorities themselves will be sought later in 2018.
