The Pacific Research and Discourse project features evidence based research and interventions on Pacific Peoples and communities in the United States, Pacific US Territories and Freely Associated States, as well as independent Pacific Island countries. Research is primarily led by Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) scientists and includes secondary data analyses of administrative, surveillance and survey data, as well as primary data collection. Research findings are translated and disseminated to the community in collaboration with community stakeholders.

Research often combines data on Asians and Pacific Islanders, thereby masking the underlying issunes facing NHPIs. In line with the Office of Management and Budget’s mandate for the disaggregation of Asian and Pacific Islander data, Pacific Research & Discourse focuses on evidence-based information and educational/training opportunities for Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders.
