He Kamaka Waiora MāoriM?ori Health Research Services
MāoriM?ori Health Services across the Auckland and Waitemata District Health Boards amalgamated in 2012; both DHBs are committed to addressing inequalities at all levels, including the research environment. The primary function of He Kamaka Waiora Māori M?ori Health Research Services is to support research capability and capacity, and it's available for research activity at both Waitemata and Auckland DHBs. http://staffnet/mhsresearch
MāoriM?ori r esearch assessment
Assessment of research projects' responsiveness to MāoriM?ori is a component of the services offered by the Auckland DHB Research Office. The process enables researchers to meet the requirements of the Treaty of Waitangi and Tikanga Best Practice. The Auckland DHB research application forms both have a section for Responsiveness to MāoriM?ori that must be completed for all projects. When you have submitted your application form and other study documents to the Research Office, the MāoriM?ori review will be automatically organised for you. The review is performed either by the MāoriM?ori Advisor for Research or the Kaupapa MāoriM?ori Research Analyst but you do not need to contact them separately. The Auckland DHB Research Office will facilitate this review for you.
After the completion of the MāoriM?ori research assessment, a letter of support will be sent to you showing that a process of formal research review has taken place.

Consultation with MāoriM?ori
The assessment process above does not exclude your responsibility to undertake separate consultation with MāoriM?ori regarding your research project. It is expected that some discussion will have been initiated in the development of your study. In the case of some internationally designed studies, it is expected that the processes by which the research will be implemented in New Zealand have also been considered and discussed.
