Canterbury researchers funded to tackle child health challenges
University of Canterbury researchers are leading innovative studies to research and improve child health in Aotearoa New Zealand.
A Better Start, one of the country’s 11 National Science Challenges, and Cure Kids, New Zealand’s largest national child health research charity, are co-funding the new $4 million projects, which are all aimed at making a real-world difference for tamariki and their whānau.
The research projects are centred on three key research areas – healthy weight, mental health and resilience, and early learning and literacy – and all focus on equitable outcomes for Māori and Pasifika children.
