Networking
CTRCD members are active in a wide range of research activities as well as engaged with professional organisations and societies, Māori and Pacific organisations, government agencies, NGOs, consumer groups and other interest groups in New Zealand and internationally.
Networks and links include:
- Diabetes New Zealand
- Health Sponsorship Council
- International Union of Nutritional Sciences
- National Heart Foundation
- Obesity Action Coalition
- SPARC
- World Cancer Research Fund
- World Health Organisation
The close association between investigators and Māori and Pacific organisations are of special relevance. For example, the University of Otago has a Memorandum of Understanding in place with Ngati Porou Hauora to facilitate the implementation of the Ngati and Healthy Project.
