Māori Health Research - Summer Studentships

Background

Summer Studentships in Māori health research are available to introduce research to those students who have the potential to develop careers involving Māori health research. Applications are now sought from students undertaking health related courses wishing to be involved in a Māori health research project over the summer vacation.

Eligibility

Selection will be based on the potential of the student to have a career with a significant involvement in Māori health research and the quality of their intended supervision. Supervisors should be a suitable role model, with a clearly demonstrated record of publication in health research and the necessary time, interest and enthusiasm to give to the student (maximum 2 students per supervisor). The project should be a distinct piece of research that is achievable within the period of the studentship (usually ten weeks). Some training in research methodology and report writing should be involved and the student is encouraged to present the results of the research at a seminar and/or by publication. It is the student's and the supervisor's joint responsibility to ensure that the project is completed on time.

If ethics approval is required for the summer studentship, it is the supervisor's responsibility to ensure that this is obtained at the time an application is submitted for consideration. Otherwise, students are advised to select a project that does not require ethics approval.

Research projects should be related directly to the health of iwi/Māori with the precise topic to be determined by the applicant and their supervisor.
