Our Partners



We cultivate an extensive network of partners dedicated to performing research excellence with the shared motivation of improving Māori health outcomes.


This network encompasses leading research institutions across Aotearoa (New Zealand) who share our commitment to excellence in Māori health research, generous funding partners who support our work and allow us to address specific needs within the community as well as our invaluable community groups.


We recognise the profound importance of community voices and perspectives. Our partnerships with local groups ensure our research is culturally relevant, addresses real-world challenges faced by whānau (family), and fosters a sense of ownership within the communities we serve.


This collaborative approach lies at the heart of our success. By working hand-in-hand with these diverse partners, we can create a brighter, healthier future for all.
