This programme of research is supported by an innovative, vertically integrated programme of Capability Building that will ensure excellent research is sustained where it exists now, is nurtured where it is developing, and seeded where it is currently absent. Our national programme for research training has systematically accelerated recruitment and mentoring of students across the transitions from undergraduate to postgraduate, doctoral and post-doctoral studies. The programme works to develop high-level conceptual and communication skills of students to prepare them for roles as leaders in research as well as in the Māori and national communities.
