mentor in the company, and include their statements of commitment to the project.

The scheme will provide financial support for the researcher and will contribute to other costs associated with the project. Funding levels are to be determined by the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology, on the advice of an advisory committee, on a case by case basis. In making its decisions, the Foundation will optimise the number of awards in accordance with the objectives of the scheme.

Administration and Selection

The projects will be administered by the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology, using the mechanism of an advisory committee chaired by a member of the Foundation, and comprising science and engineering researchers and industrialists who have substantial experience supervising joint research projects of the kind supported by this scheme.

Funding

The scheme will allocate the following funding:

• To be determined, but not less than the funding provided in 1994/95.

This will provide for 20–40 researchers in 1994/95, and at least this number annually after that.

Monitoring

The scheme will be monitored by the Ministry of Research, Science and Technology.

Annex B Non-Specific Output Funding (NSOF)

Objectives

NSOF is granted directly to Crown Research Institutes (CRIs) for public good science and technology programmes which do not have to conform to the Government’s priority statement for public good science and technology. NSOF is likely to be used for:

• exploring new ideas which are not sufficiently well formed to enable a programme proposal to be made to the Foundation for Research Science and Technology; and
• maintaining programmes which are important to the CRI but are not of sufficient priority to gain funding from the Foundation.

Criteria

NSOF must be used for providing public good science and technology outputs. The test is whether the work would be fundable by the Foundation, i.e. within the scope of the Public Good Science Fund (PGSF) if it met relevance and quality criteria.

NSOF must be applied to outputs, although not necessarily in the year in which the funding is granted.

Administration

The Foundation will pay the NSOF to each CRI as a single contractual arrangement.

Level of Funding

Funding is made available to each CRI at the rate of 10% of the funds allocated from the contestable portion of the PGSF to each CRI in the previous year.

Period of Funding

The Scheme shall continue in operation until further notice.

Reporting

Progress and other reports on work funded by NSOF are to be made to the Foundation in a comparable way (i.e. timing and content) to reports required for work funded through the contestable part of the PGSF.

A summary of the level and application of NSOF is to be provided each year by each CRI to the Minister for CRIs.

A report on work funded by NSOF is to be included in the reports required to be provided by the Foundation pursuant to the Foundation for Research Science and Technology Act 1990.

Monitoring

This Scheme will be monitored by the Ministry of Research, Science and Technology.
