About this research
Author: Nick Allison
In 2014 Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga (NPM) commissioned a report from the New Zealand Institute of Economic Research (NZIER) to assess the economic, social and other impacts of the Māori Centre of Research Excellence.
A summary of key findings from this research impact evaluation were:
- Communities were involved in shaping and designing over 80% of NPM research projects
- NPM’s research is highly valued by its end-users
- The majority of the projects reported improving the practices, processes and policies of end-users such as tribal authorities or iwi
- NPM researchers are highly engaged with the Māori communities they work amongst
- NPM is a unique organisation, with no international benchmark to compare it with
- The impacts of NPM projects are often localised and highly relevant to the communities involved
- NPM has established an extensive formal and informal network of cooperation between its partner research institutions that is unprecedented
- Almost half of NPM’s projects received additional direct funding
The intent behind the commissioning of this research impact evaluation report was to develop a means by which we could assess and determine the social and economic outcomes and impacts of NPM research.

This collection brings together published and unpublished papers by Tā E. Taihākurei Durie, organised around the theme of hapū and Māori communities as the location of Māori authority. While Durie’s 1994 Custom Law paper is pre-eminent in bringing custom law into the realm of jurisprudence, the collection spans a remarkable range of papers and reports written over four decades, each exploring different facets of tikanga.

The Awardee will undertake the Whakaaweawe Impact and Transformation Grant titled Creating digital assets and illustrations for whānau who have pēpi in the neonatal unit.
In the neonatal intensive care setting, whānau receive a significant amount of written and verbal information about multiple procedures, screening tests and diagnoses, medication use, and more. Most of the written medical information is created from a Western perspective. Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) A collaboration with a Māori artist led to the development of illustrations for a written resource on the diagnosis and treatment of ROP, as part of a 2024 honours project.
