Lay summary
Whakauae Research for Maori Health and Development is the research arm of Ngati Hauiti. At a recent hui, Te Runanga o Ngati Hauiti asked whanau to explore how research results could be more easily disseminated and understood by wider whanau and hapu groups of Ngati Hauiti. Our team met and decided to review web site options and in particular the ability to not only publish academic reports online, but also develop a community page where key research results were regularly presented and updated in a user-friendly fashion. To enable this development, we wish to engage a website developer to help establish the web site.
