COVID-19 research database

MBIE’s COVID-19 Research database gives visibility on how the sector is supporting the pandemic-related research undertaken by New Zealand’s research, science, and innovation sector.

MBIE’s New Zealand Research Information System (NZRIS) team established this database on behalf of the research sector. The data collected aligns with standards set by NZRIS.

The data in the database belongs to the researchers and organisations who have submitted it. As it contains information provided voluntarily by researchers and organisations, it is by no means comprehensive. Some fields may be blank either because data was not available or the submitter chose not to provide it. MBIE is not responsible for the accuracy of the data, and we will direct enquiries about specific research activities to the organisation or researcher that provided the data.
