IVABS is a major provider of cost effective, applied research to internationally recognized quality standards. IVABS staff are involved in well over 200 research projects. Most of these have been clustered around a small number of principal research themes referred to as "IVABS Research Programmes". These large, multidisciplinary, research programmes have been established because of the relevance and importance of the area of research to New Zealand.

• Additional IVABS Research Programmes

Some of the research of the staff in IVABS is conducted (in whole or in part) in association with formal University Centres. Most of these Centres draw their expertise from more than one Institute in the College of Sciences and some also utilise expertise from external organizations. The primary function of Centres is the coordination and profiling of research but some Centres also have a significant service and teaching role.
