✨ Research Science & Technology Funding Notices
5660 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 193 15 DECEMBER 2011
(c) involve an integrated and multidisciplinary mix of "fit-for-purpose" RS&T that includes the expertise, capabilities and infrastructure required to deliver results (eg encompassing all stages of research from basic-targeted to applied); and
(d) include, if appropriate, strong international links so there is both rapid absorption of relevant and applicable overseas knowledge and expansion of New Zealand market potential, while ensuring safeguards for New Zealand’s intellectual property.
- Assessment criteria
Proposals for Enabling Technologies funding that meet the eligibility criteria for Science-led contestable funding must be assessed against the following assessment criteria, which are all weighted equally:
| Benefits to New Zealand | Risk Management or Success Factors |
|---|---|
| Outcome benefits to New Zealand Key Question: Assuming this project is successful, how will it provide outcome benefits to New Zealand? Proposals must be assessed on: • Assessment of the potential for multiple opportunities arising from the enabling technology platform • Description of the potential contribution to outcomes of benefit to New Zealand • Clarification of why the research is beyond "business as usual" |
Implementation Pathway Key Question: What is the likelihood the team will successfully have the research implemented through multiple channels? Proposals must be assessed on: • Implementation plan, including: – appropriate timelines to delivery – plans to overcome any barriers to adoption • Quality of existing partnerships and scope of engagement across multiple users, including the provision of co-funding if required |
| Research, science and technology benefits to New Zealand Key Question: Is the research of high quality and will generate an enabling technology platform that can be applied to benefit New Zealand? Proposals must be assessed on: • Advancement of knowledge frontiers • Project plan • Critical mass/capability development and maintenance |
Ability to deliver research, science and technology results (outputs) Key Question: What is the likelihood the team will achieve their proposed research outputs? Proposals must be assessed on: • RS&T track record of team • Inclusion of appropriate national and international collaborations • Project management and support • Technical challenges of developing and sustaining the platform |
- Additional criteria
When assessing proposals and allocating Enabling Technologies funding, the following additional criteria must be taken into account:
(a) Funding must be of medium to large scale value, and typically up to $1.5 to $2.5 million per annum for up to six years.
(b) Funding may be provided for lower value "seeding" development grants of typically up to $250,000 to assist a research team to develop engagement with a sector to realise the commercial potential of their research.
