Research, Science and Technology

Statement of Science Priorities for the 1991/92 Financial Year

To the Chairman of The Foundation for Research, Science and Technology.

I am required under the Foundation Act 1990 to “...advise the Foundation of the priorities that the Foundation shall adhere to in carrying out its functions...” in the allocation of funds for the production of public good science outputs.

I am conveying preliminary advice to you on science priorities by means of this letter and its 3 annexes. Complete advice will be provided when the overall level of the public good science pool has been determined.

Allocation of Funds across Outputs

The pool for funding public good science has been divided into 40 categories or outputs. The Foundation is required to allocate funding to research organisations in 28 of these outputs and to non-Government department research organisations in the other 12 outputs. The allocation of funds to Government departments from these latter 12 outputs will be decided by the Cabinet; but I would like the Foundation to advise me on the merit of their research proposals.

Annex A lists the 40 outputs, shows the funding allocated to each of these outputs in the 1990/91 financial year in dollars and by percentage share, and the indicative percentage share of the pool I wish to see allocated to each output in 1991/92. It also shows the outputs for which the Foundation are entirely responsible. The total amount of funding in the pool is not decided yet for 1991/92, but I will advise you of this as soon as I can.

The Foundation will be allowed discretion in the allocation of funding to outputs, so that you will be able to fully recognise the quality of research proposals in your deliberations. The degree of this discretion will be advised to you in good time. Depending on the size of the pool, the Government may also wish to alter funding levels in each output if allocations seem likely to damage the science infrastructure.

Priority Research Themes

I wish also to nominate priority research themes within single outputs and across several outputs. Themes within outputs 1, 3, 7, 9, 12, 13, 14, 19, 25, 26, 27, 28, 33 and 40 are listed in Annex B.

Themes in two broad areas of Government concern are listed in Annex C. These relate to Climate Change and the Control of Possums and the threat of Bovine Tuberculosis.
