NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 183

prioritised list of resource management tools to be
funded each year.

The foundation may delegate authority to CRIs, research
associations and universities to be its approved agents for
advice grants in respect of the scheme.

The foundation may delegate authority to regional councils
to be its approved agents in respect of the scheme only with
prior ministerial approval.

Further instructions and requirements of applicants will be
communicated by the foundation, including on its web site.

Funds not allocated by the foundation in any financial year
will be rephased to the ensuing financial year and used only
for the scheme.

Should the funds be fully allocated by the foundation prior
to the close of any financial year, the foundation will notify
regional councils, CRIs, universities, research associations
and the Ministry of Research, Science and Technology
(“the ministry”) that no more proposals may be received
in that financial year.

In administering the fund, the foundation will:

● ensure the trial regional councils are actively participating
in obtaining advice grants by initiating projects; and

● ensure the process is flexible and responsive to regional
councils’ needs.

Allocation of Funding

Funds available to the scheme will be published each year
in the estimates of appropriations.
