Translation, Uptake and Impact – A review of literature

 

For tertiary students interested in getting some real research experience and working with senior Māori health researchers over the coming 2021-2022 summer, our internship programme is intended to provide experience and support for Māori students wanting to learn new skills and gain experience in game-changing research.

 

A selected Intern will work under the direction and guidance of one of our Māori researchers on a research project aligned to our new and innovative “TUI” (Translation, Uptake & Impact) – Dissemination Action Framework. We are looking for future-thinking students to undertake a review of the current literature available on new and innovative methods of sharing research, including through drawing, cartoons and other creative ways to capture and disseminate information to a health audience.

 

The literature review will provide an opportunity to apply existing skills and knowledge in analytic thinking and writing, as well as being supported in new learnings within the environment of research excellence at Whakauae.

 

The Summer Studentship offers of $7,500 scholarship, and will run from the 8th December 2021 – 28th February 2022 (these dates are flexible and allow for a 2-week break at Christmas).

 

Background

Whakauae has an ongoing commitment to produce research that brings about positive change for Māori communities. Effective dissemination is the bridge that spans the gap between research and policy, research and practice, and between research and the lives of whānau Māori. While understanding the importance of dissemination is the first step to good practice, the nuances of how to define and enact dissemination are complex and layered.

Whakauae has developed its own model of dissemination as a way to articulate and define the principal parts of the dissemination process within the context of Whakauae's values, goals and responsibilities as an Iwi-owned research centre. The TUI model refers to the key aspects of dissemination as being ‘Translation, Uptake and Impact'. The model is an aspirational representation of three central tenets within dissemination discourse and identifies three different, yet intrinsically connected stages in the ‘research to change' journey.

Māori health research values Māori worldviews and builds Māori research capacity and leadership. Join us in contributing to the build of an evidence base that contributes to Māori health gains, derived from high-quality Māori health research that upholds rangatiratanga and uses and advances Māori knowledge, resources, and people.

 

Eligibility and conditions
