About body nra/about-body

Ngā Uara | Our Values

At the heart of Nursing Research Aotearoa | Te Pou Rangahau Tapuhio Aotearoa are values grounded in Te Tiriti o Waitangi, kaupapa Māori and the knowledge traditions of Aotearoa. We believe nursing, research, education and professional development are strengthened through partnership, equity, excellence and collective wellbeing.

We are guided by:

Manaakitanga

Caring for people through generosity, respect and support

Whanaungatanga

Building meaningful relationships and connections

Kaitiakitanga

Stewarding knowledge and resources for future generations

Rangatiratanga

Supporting leadership, aspiration and self-determination

Kotahitanga

Working together to improve health and hauora

Wairuatanga

Recognising the holistic dimensions of health and wellbeing

Pūkengatanga

Pursuing excellence, expertise and lifelong learning

Mātauranga

Valuing knowledge in all its forms, including indigenous knowledge

Tika me te pono

Acting with integrity, fairness and accountability

Te Tiriti o Waitangi and kaupapa Māori

Our work is guided by values that reflect our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, kaupapa Māori and the knowledge traditions of Aotearoa. These values shape how we build partnerships, invest in people, support rangahau and mātauranga, and contribute to equitable hauora for whānau, hapū, iwi and communities.

Te Tiriti o Waitangi informs our governance, funding, partnerships and decision-making. Tikanga Māori and kaupapa Māori approaches guide how we work, and we are committed to honouring Te Tiriti through partnership, participation and protection.

We are committed to working in partnership with Māori to support the aspirations of Māori nurses, midwives, kaiāwhina, students and researchers, strengthening Māori leadership, rangatiratanga, workforce development and hauora outcomes. We recognise Māori as Te Tiriti partners and are committed to shared leadership, meaningful engagement and partnership in decision-making as our organisation continues to evolve.

We recognise mātauranga Māori as a valued knowledge system in its own right that enriches research and rangahau, learning and healthcare innovation. We value kaupapa Māori research methodologies and acknowledge that mātauranga Māori, pūrākau, whānau knowledge, lived experience and other indigenous ways of knowing all contribute to generating knowledge that improves hauora.

We are committed to building enduring relationships based on Te Tiriti partnership and ensuring our funding approaches continue to evolve through engagement with Māori, supporting Māori aspirations and improved hauora Māori outcomes.

This commitment is an ongoing journey of learning, partnership and continuous improvement.

Our History

An enrolled nurse at work
Photo to come from the client

Nursing Research Aotearoa | Te Pou Rangahau Tapuhio Aotearoa was established in 1968 as a charitable trust supporting nursing through education, research and professional development.

For more than five decades, we have supported nurses, midwives, caregivers, students, kaiāwhina and researchers through scholarships and grants. This support has helped people undertake postgraduate study, conduct research, develop specialist expertise and contribute new knowledge to the profession.

Our history is closely connected with the nursing profession and Tōpūtanga Tapuhi Kaitiaki o Aotearoa New Zealand Nurses Organisation (NZNO).

Nursing Research Aotearoa | Te Pou Rangahau Tapuhio Aotearoa is governed by an independent Board of Trustees responsible for overseeing our strategic direction, stewardship of funds and long-term sustainability.

Ebony’s story demonstrates what’s possible when nurses are given the opportunity to ask important questions, pursue meaningful research and turn their insights into better care. By investing in nurse-led research, Nursing Research Aotearoa | Te Pou Rangahau Tapuhi o Aotearoa is helping ensure the people closest to the challenges are also shaping the solutions, creating knowledge that will improve healthcare for generations to come.

Blog Pullquote synced

The grant came right at the beginning of my PhD. Funding like this is really important because it helps bridge inequities in access to postgraduate education and research. Only around one percent of New Zealanders have a PhD, and I don’t think I would have been able to undertake this research and generate the knowledge that I needed without that support.
