Investment priorities Research questions Other requirements
Building on known successes in societal research Efficacy of research for societal intervention: How can we extract maximum benefit from the evidence base of existing research on societal issues and interventions to inform policy and practice? ○ will be carried out in a manner that enables end users to access and use knowledge generated from the work programme at the earliest opportunity.
The proposed research project must generate one or more formal methodologies for assessing the quality of evidence about a societal topic or value of an intervention.

The methodology must:

  • be demonstrated by a review of available New Zealand and relevant international research;
  • have wide applicability;
  • use cross-disciplinary and cross-issue search criteria (ie across various societal sectors); and
  • indicate how the findings might best direct future research. | Proposals must confirm that co-funding by direct in-kind contributions has been secured.

Proposals must:

  • be of 2 to 3 years’ duration;
  • provide a brief literature review of the field and demonstrate how the research will leverage existing research findings, partnerships, or datasets, as appropriate;
  • explicitly outline what steps will be taken to ensure that research is carried out in an inclusive and mana-enhancing way – ie not "on" but "with" participants;
  • specify an explicit path from research into deliverables such as policy changes, programmes, tools or other forms of uptake; and
  • demonstrate that stakeholders, including Māori organisations where relevant, were actively involved in setting the priorities of the work programme to ensure that it:
    ○ is designed with a clear understanding of end user requirements and likely knowledge uptake throughout the life of the work programme; and
    ○ will be carried out in a manner that enables end users to access and use knowledge generated from the work programme at the earliest opportunity.
