This Prioritisation Framework was developed as part of the implementation of the New Zealand Health Research Strategy 2017–2027. It prioritises how and why health research needs to be done in New Zealand in order to drive high-level health and social outcomes and ensure maximum impact from the government’s investment in health. Te Mahere Whakamātāmuatanga a Rangahau Hauora Aotearoa is the Te Reo Māori translation of The New Zealand Health Research Prioritisation Framework.
