Research, Science & Technology

Foundation for Research, Science, and Technology Act 1990

Notice of Amendment to Ministerial Scheme Under Section 8A of the Foundation for Research, Science, and Technology Act 1990—the Grants for Private Sector Research and Development Scheme

Direction to: The Foundation for Research, Science and Technology (“the foundation”).

Under section 8A of the Foundation for Research, Science, and Technology Act 1990, I direct the foundation to allocate funds in accordance with the Grants for Private Sector Research and Development Scheme (“the scheme”) specified in this notice.

This notice replaces the one published in the New Zealand Gazette, 6 July 2000, No. 75, page 1813, which established the scheme.

Grants for Private Sector Research and Development

Nature of the Scheme

The scheme is intended to increase the level of private sector investment in research and development[^1] in New Zealand.

The intended outcome of the scheme is a greater level of investment by firms[^2] in research and development, technological learning, knowledge application and the development of technology-based human capital.

The scheme will target all technologically aware[^3] firms with an emphasis on small and medium sized firms[^4].

It will focus on projects that have the potential to stretch a firm’s technological capabilities beyond existing levels and improve their ability to apply technological innovation for business growth.

These funds can be allocated to a firm (or a group of firms) to undertake a research and development project.

Scheme Objective

Projects that meet the scheme’s objective are eligible to receive funds from the foundation.

The scheme’s objective is to increase the level of new private sector research and development investment.

In making funding decisions, the foundation will fund those projects that, in its view, best meet the following criteria:

• Have a clear link to a business strategy focused on developing markets, processes or services with reasonable commercial potential;
• are likely to start sooner and complete earlier with the scheme’s support;
• have the potential to create an enduring wealth creating capability; and
• have the potential to create an enduring increase in technological capability in the firm.
