Rauika Māngai – A Guide to Vision Mātauranga
There is no better voice to describe how to bring the greatest success from Vision Mātauranga, than the one that has experienced it deeply, has lived and breathed it, has jumped in elbows and knees-deep, has suffered and succeeded, and has examined and reflected on it over many, many years. Here, we present a chorus of these voices, from an experienced ensemble of Māori researchers and facilitators who work at the interface between the Māori and Scientific worlds.
Code of Conduct
As a National Science Challenge, we’re comprised of people from diverse backgrounds, organisations, and lived experiences. We’re committed to the open exchange of ideas, freedom of thought and expression, and respectful debate.

Recognition Guidelines
The following guidelines have been created to help you recognise and promote your involvement with New Zealand’s Biological Heritage National Science Challenge.
Conflict of interest policy
The integrity of the review process that underpins the allocation of funding to research proposals is critical to the Challenge.
Criteria for project leads and providers
In the BioHeritage Challenge, one of the most important considerations for us is the choice of Co-Leaders for our research investments, and thus the Lead Provider that employs them, because our focus is on investment for national-scale impact.
Prioritising the priorities
Prioritising research needs is a common task for researchers especially in the biological heritage space. Here's how we did it for Tranche 2.
Best practice guidelines for partnering with Māori
Working in partnership with Māori underpins everything we do in Tranche 2. This is particularly important in our investments. It is our belief that to create impact and long-term benefit we must adequately resource Māori to participate fully in New Zealand’s science and innovation system.
Annual workplan template
Our aim in Tranche 2 of the BioHeritage Challenge is to empower the ‘right teams’ to actively plan and manage their research and related activities. This template should help you in doing so.
Investment timeline

Criteria and guidelines for investment
We're not holding any contestable funding rounds for Tranche 2, but we want to be as transparent as possible about how we're putting teams together.
Communications plan template
The goal of this plan is to provide transparency in developing research investments.
Building the right teams – for SLG
This short document provides some guidance for SLG, Knowledge Brokers, and research leads as we construct the ‘right teams’ forcollective impact in Challenge and NRT investments.
