 MAORI RESEARCH REVIEW COMMITTEE (MRRC) 

 Prepare for Maori Review / Maori Words / Home

 
The Maori Research Review Committee (MRRC) was established to provide a constructive consultation process for ADHB and other researchers who are undertaking research at ADHB, who require advice to ensure they meet the requirements of the Treaty of Waitangi, Tikanga Best Practice and National Ethics Standards prior to submitting their project for ethics approval.
The role of the MRRC is to review all research conducted in ADHB against the ADHB Bicultural Policy, Tikanga Best Practice Policy and Guidelines for Researchers on Health Research Involving Maori (2008)  view copy
The MRRC provides advice to researchers to enable them to meet the requirements of the Treaty of Waitangi and Tikanga Best Practice.
The MRRC provides a letter of support to researchers, to demonstrate that a process of formal review of research has occurred.
Please note, this process does not exclude the researcher responsibility to undertake separate consultation with Maori regarding the research project.  It is expected that some discussion or advice has been initiated in the development of the 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 been considered and discussed.
The Research Office facilitates research review by the MRRC.  To initiate this process you must have submitted the minimal amount of documents to register your project with the Research office.   Upon receipt of these documents the RO forwards them to the MRRC on researchers' behalf.
The ADHB Research Office provides secretariat services for the MRRC.  Please contact Jenny Ma jennym@adhb.govt.nz for further information.
The Agenda for the MRRC meetings closes on the 20th of the month.   Applications received after the 20th will be held and reviewed for the next month.
