The combination of the Health Research Council's Guidelines for researchers on health research involving Maori and the 1998 revision of the National application form for ethical approval generated an expectation that all research development required consultation with Maori.
This paper clarifies issues of consultation for health researchers in two ways. Firstly, the historical development of the focus on the Maori research responsiveness is outlined. Secondly, we argue that research institutions, rather than researchers, need to take a lead role in consulting on research issues with Maori organisations.
Consultation with Maori at the institutional level could help clarify and address key ethical issues in research--while reducing the workload for researchers, Maori organisations, and host institutions alike.
健康研究委员会针对涉及毛利人的健康研究为研究人员制定的指南，以及1998年修订的国家伦理审批申请表，使得人们期望所有研究项目的开展都需要与毛利人进行协商。
本文通过两种方式阐明了健康研究人员的协商问题。首先，概述了对毛利人研究响应性关注的历史发展。其次，我们认为研究机构而非研究人员需要在与毛利人组织就研究问题进行协商中发挥主导作用。
在机构层面与毛利人进行协商有助于澄清和解决研究中的关键伦理问题，同时减轻研究人员、毛利人组织和主办机构的工作量。
