The form is designed primarily for 90-point and higher theses (Master's and Doctoral level).

Let's look at what information you'll need to provide in the first section:

Investigators

• The principal investigator is you 鈥� the Doctoral or Master鈥檚 student researcher
• Associate investigators would be your supervisors

Research group

• If you are attached to any research funding or part of a larger research initiative, you would include that information here

Cultural advisors/mana whenua representation

• This is where you would list any cultural advisors you are working with
• If you are consulting with mana whenua (local tribal authorities), include those details

Ng膩i Tahu Research Centre or Kai膩rahi Rangahau

• This refers to consultation with M膩ori advisors at UC, such as Kai膩rahi Rangahau

The second part of the UC M膩ori Ethics Consultation Form asks for details about your research project:

Project

• This is where you include your project title

Concise description of research

• You need to provide a synopsis of your study in this section

Description to include scope, purpose, methodology, methods, and study objectives/research questions

• What is your research about?
• Why are you conducting this research?
• What methodology are you using (e.g., phenomenology; kaupapa M膩ori)?
• What methods will you employ (e.g., group interview; p奴r膩kau)?
• What are your research questions or objectives?

This section requires you to outline the core elements of your research project in a clear and concise manner.聽

The third part of the UC M膩ori Ethics Consultation Form focuses on impact areas that might require M膩ori consultation. Detail exactly what you hope to be doing, especially regarding interaction with M膩ori. You will complete this section if your research involves any of the following:

Significant M膩ori content

• This could include using kaupapa M膩ori methodologies or methods
• Your study might be based substantially on M膩ori concepts, knowledge, or experiences

Access to M膩ori sites

• Sites linked to whakapapa (genealogy)
• Marae, urup膩 (burial grounds), or other culturally significant locations

Sampling of native flora/fauna

• Research involving indigenous plants or animals

Culturally sensitive material/knowledge

• This is a broad category and often relies on your judgment
• If you select this, you will likely be selecting other categories as well

M膩ori involvement as participants or subjects

• This is one of the trickier areas because sometimes you will not know until your research is underway
• Even if you are not specifically targeting M膩ori participants, they may become part of your sample
• If there is a possibility M膩ori might be involved, it's best to tick this box
• For example, if you are conducting surveys that mention identity, M膩ori participants may respond in ways that bring their cultural identity into your research

Research where M膩ori data is sought and analysed

• This includes statistics or other quantitative data about M膩ori
• It also covers qualitative data specific to M膩ori

Research that will impact on M膩ori

• Research with potential implications for M膩ori communities or individuals
