CORE researchers have expertise in a variety of social research methods, with a particular emphasis on action research and other forms of participant research. We have formal research associations with the University of Canterbury (NZ), NZCER (NZ), and CORE Education (UK).

As well as conducting their own research, CORE Education's team of researchers, led by Dr. John Fenaughty, carries out contractural work for other organisations, and facilitates others in their own research projects, such as the eFellowship Award fellows.
