<p>Whakauae has great pleasure in announcing a successful HRC application in the 2015 annual round. The project, Te Ara Auahi Kore (TAKe) started on September 1<sup>st</sup> 2016 and aligns to the International Tobacco Control Policy Evaluation Project. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>A recent article published in The Wave &ndash; The <a href="/uploads/files/The%20Wave-Jul-Aug2016.pdf">ITC Project Newsletter</a>&nbsp;describes the project that the University of Otago, Whakauae Research Services and M&#257;ori Health Service providers from around the motu are conducting.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Whilst smoking continues to have a huge impact on M&#257;ori, more high quality evidence is required to inform action. &nbsp;</p>

<p>For information please don&rsquo;t hesitate to contact any of the project&#39;s Principle Investigators: Andrew Waa (<a href="mailto:andrew.waa@otago.ac.nz">andrew.waa@otago.ac.nz</a>), Dr. Heather Gifford (<a href="mailto:Heather@whakauae.co.nz">Heather@whakauae.co.nz</a>), or Bridget Robson (<a href="mailto:bridget.robson@otago.ac.nz">bridget.robson@otago.ac.nz</a>).</p>
