HRC Māori Health Research Writing Workshops 2010
The HRC and Whakauae Research for Māori and Health Development will host four Writing Workshops in June and July specifically for Māori researchers, students and community organisations (dates and venues outlined below). The workshops will provide information on the funding available for Māori health research including: the annual funding round, career development awards and other Māori health research funding opportunities within the HRC. The workshop is also aimed at encouraging and assisting Māori community organisations and new and existing health researchers to prepare funding applications for the 2010/2011 HRC funding round.
The workshops will be run by Dr Heather Gifford and Dr Amohia Boulton from Whakauae Research for Māori Health & Development.
The writing sessions focus on:
• having a good idea and translating this idea into a research question;
• health significance;
• linkages to policy;
• research design and methodology;
• timelines (from planning for grant writing through to execution of the grant and knowledge translation);
• bringing together a research team to assist in answering the research question which will compel participants to consider;
- what is the best combination of team members to address the research question?
- what workforce development issues might be encountered?
- who should be consulted about the research?
- what communities might be affected by the research and what processes of community engagement must be factored into grant
writing?
• budgets; and
• dissemination and knowledge translation.
