NPM is holding a series of virtual online hui over the next two weeks - highlighting our new contestable fund for research funding.

Over the first six months of 2016, Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga has distributed grants and awards totalling more than $250,000 to almost 30 Māori researchers from around the country.

On Tuesday 5 July, Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori (TTWh) and Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga (NPM) celebrated Te Wiki o te Reo Māori with an important and unique celebration at Waipapa Marae.

Over the coming months Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga will develop, seed and scope new research projects, that contribute to its research programme and themes. Advanced through NPM's researchers and collaborating partners, these new projects will also contribute to our collective mission and vision.

This seeding and scoping of new research will be achieved through a contestable fund to identify projects that have transformative potential.

NPM and Fulbright New Zealand have established an enduring and successful partnership in recent years.
