Purpose of the policy
The Research Consultation with Māori Policy provides the basis for an appropriate and mandated consultation process with Kāi Tahu for research. It ensures an effective and efficient first-step mechanism for managing the consultation process while acknowledging the needs and aspirations of Kāi Tahu for Māori development and benefit in Ngāi Tahu Vision 2025.
This process is available to University of Otago researchers only.
Please note:
- Appropriate consultation is required before you begin work on research proposals
- Consultation is required for all areas of research
- Consultation may take time - so start well in advance of preparing your proposal
The submission process asks researchers to submit a Research Consultation with Māori Form with information on your research proposition which is then assessed for consultation requirements. A Completed Sample Consultation Form is available to use as a guide.

Submission of Results
The submission of results to the Committee is an important step in the engagement process. The Committee is interested in seeing the results in whatever format is easy for the research team to distribute, whether it be as a summary of findings, published articles or a copy of generated reports.
