Health and Society Research Fund
The following priorities relate only to the Society component of the Health and Society Research Fund. The Health component of the fund is managed by the Health Research Council.
Proposals for funding out of the Health and Society Research Fund may be considered in the 2013 science investment round under the following Investment Mechanism:
- Targeted Research – proposals must be for research, science, and technology, or related activities:
- in one of the areas listed in the "Investment priorities" column of the table below; and
- directed towards answering the corresponding research questions listed in the "Research questions" column of the table below.
| Investment priorities | Research questions | Other requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Benefiting from the diversity of 21st century New Zealanders | How can we prepare for and make the most of the projected changes in demographic structure of the New Zealand population – including increased numbers of older adults, high birth rates among Māori and Pasifika, and a high proportion of educated migrants? | Proposals must confirm that co-funding by direct in-kind contributions has been secured. |
Proposals must:
- be of 3 years’ duration (or 4 years if the Science Board considers there are exceptional circumstances warranting the extended time);
- provide a brief literature review of the field and demonstrate how the research will leverage existing research findings, partnerships, or datasets, as appropriate;
- explicitly outline what steps will be taken to ensure that research is carried out in an inclusive and mana-enhancing way – ie not "on" but "with" participants;
- specify an explicit path from research into deliverables such as policy changes, programmes, tools or other forms of uptake; and
- demonstrate that stakeholders, including Māori organisations where relevant, were actively involved in setting the priorities of the work programme to ensure that it:
In particular:- What are the social and economic impacts and consequences of these emerging population changes?
- What determines the effectiveness of societal institutions and their interactions in responding to these changes?
