LONG-TERM NON-CONTESTABLE FUNDING
POLICY OBJECTIVES
A non-contestable process to support the outcomes sought through the gazette notice of this date "Description of Funds within Vote Research, Science and Technology" and to generate economic, environmental or social benefits for New Zealand.
In particular, this tool will support research, science and technology with the potential to create and support large-scale, long-term programmes of research, science and technology that deliver sector strategies and outcomes important to government and deliver significant economic, environmental and social benefit to New Zealand.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
Government would expect the majority of the research, science and technology funded by this tool to be led by research organisations, in particular, but not exclusive to, Crown Research Institutes, Universities and Independent Research Associations. The following research, science and technology activities are eligible to receive funding under this tool:
- Activities that are large in scale with respect to end-benefits and the size and complexity of the research effort required
- Activities that have significant involvement by users in both governance (setting directions and quality measures, determining capability requirements, evaluating outcomes) and execution (in particular, technology transfer and application).
SPECIAL CRITERIA
In addition to the criteria set out in this notice, when making funding decisions for the Sandpit for ‘Developing a sustainable future for freshwater resources’, the Science Board must make funding decisions consistent with the Call for Participants issued on 6 December 2010. The Call for Participants is available at http://www.frenz.org.nz/Activities/Sandpits/Sandpit1CallText.aspx
PARAMETERS SPECIFIC TO THIS TOOL
In receiving funding under this tool, entities will become accountable for producing outcomes by:
- using implementation pathways that aim to maximise benefits for New Zealand;
- and
- delivering research, science and technology that meets appropriate international standards.

Funding has historically been invested in this area using:
- Stable Funding environment 1 and 2
