While the MoU was only signed at the beginning of August, already the two organisations are seeing the fruits of a collaborative research partnership. WAI Research has just been awarded Ngā Kanohi Kītea (NKK) funding for a project entitled Catalysts of Health and Wellbeing: A Retrospective Study of West Auckland Whānau. The project is due to begin later this year. The two organisations are also collaborating on a further NKK grant application, and discussions are being held in September regarding other research projects of interest to the two organisations around the theme of “Whānau Ora”.
