Answer

I am advised that there are no specific funding allocations for wānanga or kaupapa Māori research. However, eligible organisations, including wānanga, may apply for funding. The Gazette criteria also provide for consideration of mātauranga Māori, which could include kaupapa Māori research, where relevant to the proposed research.
