All research at NMIT, whether undertaken by staff members, or by students as part of undergraduate, post-graduate courses, requires ethics approval.

Research Ethics

From inception of any research project to dissemination of its results, considering ethical aspects is an active responsibility of researchers. This means that researchers must: 

  • endeavour to maintain the safety of all human and animal participants in the project

  • consider the impact of their research and any published outputs, ensuring there will be no adverse ethical impacts on communities and groups

  • ensure their research is in accordance with NMIT’s Te Tiriti o Waitangi Policy and can contribute to the needs and aspirations of Tangata Whenua of Te Tauihu, leading to meaningful engagement and outcomes for Māori and researchers.
