The system is web based and provides the ability for a researcher to manage the data and performance of the research site online. All data collected is RDSAT compatible. We have created a unique automated serial numbering system. The system helps to simplify eligibility screening of participants and links a social network via the serial number.

Building Better Homes, Towns And Cities

Building Better Homes, Towns and Cities (BBHTC) is one of 11 National Science Challenges, funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Enterprise (MBIE) and its focus is housing. The Challenge develops findings that will empower public, planners and policymakers with reliable information and new tools for fresh thinking and better decisions. It is also discovering new pathways to address the long-standing housing challenges of our most disadvantaged and to support Māori into healthy homes. Housing is a fundamental human need. Every person is involved in housing, but we have needs and wants beyond simply a roof over our heads. A home should nurture and protect us. It should be hospitable. It should be dry, warm and insulated to keep us healthy. It should have clean air and sunlight. And it should be part of a community or built environment that also nurtures and protects us. Our vision is: Ka ora kainga rua: Built environments that build communities And our mission: Manaaki tangata: Co-created innovative research that helps transform people’s dwellings into homes and communities that are hospitable, productive and protective. BBHTC is focused on helping New Zealand develop spaces for generations and build thriving and sustainable cities and regions.

Melde

Melde supports organisations with the planning, measurement and reporting of their impact. While Social Impact Measurement to date has been bespoke, onerous, and expensive. Melde works with the Huber Social Wellbeing framework, which has overcome these limitations through the development of a universally applicable framework that measures not only overall impact, but also driving factors to maximise it. The framework achieves this by identifying that the overall goal of all social impact is to put people in the best position to fulfil their potential and achieve Wellbeing. Therefore, to measure the effectiveness of programmes, Huber Social measures shifts in Wellbeing (Impact), as well as shifts in the capability and opportunity needs of people (Outcomes), to be able to prove the impact of programmes as well as inform how delivery may be improved.
