Health Research Council of New Zealand

The Health Research Council (HRC) was established under the Health Research Council Act of 1990.

The HRC mission is to improve human health by promoting and funding health research. It funds New Zealand health research, including biomedical, public health, health services, Maori health, Pacific health and clinical research.

Purchasing is organised into nine portfolios - Biological systems and technologies; Communicable diseases; Determinants of health; Health and independence of population groups; Health sector management and services; Injury and rehabilitation; Mental health and neuroscience; Non-communicable diseases and Rangahau Hauora Maori (Maori health research). HRC also funds many valuable career development awards.

The HRC accredits regional and institutional ethics committees which approve research proposals, and advises the government on the scientific merit of clinical and gene therapy trials.

The HRC organises annual conferences on health research issues. It publishes a newsletter, Ethics Notes and HRC Panui (about Maori health research), a statutory Annual report and an annual Health Research Highlights.

The Health Research Council of New Zealand (HRC) is responsible for managing the New Zealand Government’s investment in health research.

About the Health Research Council

The Health Research Council's (HRC's) mission is ‘benefiting New Zealand through health research’, with a vision of improved health and quality of life for all.

The HRC invests in a broad range of health research on issues of importance to New Zealand. It also supports the development of research careers so that New Zealand can have a well-trained workforce in the future.

The HRC also contributes to maintaining an ethical and safe health research environment. Its committees:

• provide advice on gene technology
• accredit health and disability ethics committees and institutional ethics committees
• monitor the safety of large clinical trials and
• review applications to use new medicines in trials.

The HRC was established under the Health Research Council Act 1990 and is responsible to the Minister of Health. Its major funding agreement is through the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.

Budget funding

In Budget 2016, the Government announced it would invest an extra $97 million over 4 years in health research. This brings the total funding available through this mechanism for the HRC to $87.2 million in 2016/17, rising to $120.2 million per annum in 2019/20.

HRC also receives some funding from us through the Vision Mātauranga Capability Fund and the Catalyst Fund.
