Advancing Research
We develop capacity
We help researchers at all stages build skills such as developing competitive funding proposals and knowledge mobilisation plans. We work to advance the ideas of researchers from Māori, Pacific and other underrepresented backgrounds. We work with the University to help researchers understand and apply Vision Mātauranga principles.

We connect people
With our rich network across sectors, we connect researchers to the right people, whether other researchers doing complementary work, community organisations improving lives in evidence-based ways, funding bodies looking to back great ideas, or experts who can provide advice on anything from patents to business plans to partnering with Māori.

Government and industry
When governments or businesses have research questions, we connect them to leading experts, whether through consultancy, contract research or groundbreaking partnership projects. When researchers have ideas for industry or government, we connect them to the business and policy leaders who can advance and apply those ideas.

Researchers often work with these projects and programmes to advance and apply their work.
