About Us
The National Centre for Lifecourse Research (NCLR) was launched on Monday 19 November at the Grand Hall in Parliament by the Hon Pete Hodgson, Minister for Research, Science and Technology.
The Centre is based at the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Research Unit, but is a national collaborative venture with national and international partners.
Aims of the NCLR
There are two main aims of the NCLR:
1. Translational Research. The centre will act as a platform for all the partner organisations. It will take the research done about human health, development, relationships, family and social outcomes, and translate it into accessible, timely and useful resources for the general public, NGOs, journalists, funding bodies, schools, and policymakers.
2. New Research About People. The centre will launch new research projects that feed directly into the needs of New Zealand people and policy, including studies of ageing and national identity. In addition, we will study effective communication methods for different end-user groups.
