Our review services

We review on a rolling basis - meaning we have no committee meeting deadline to work towards. Once your application is submitted, we will commence the review.

 

Your application will be reviewed by a panel determined on the expertise required for your project.

​

Depending on the nature and scope of your project, we offer a social science or health-adjacent application form. We also have a By Māori For Māori Komiti pathway. 

​

Our scoping tool below can help you determine which pathway is best for your project.
