Environmental Research Fund

Because funding out of the Environmental Research Fund will not be allocated by a science-led contestable process an alternative document rather than a request for proposals will be issued.

Proposals for funding out of the Environmental Research Fund may be considered in the 2013 Sandpit round under the Sandpit Tool. 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 question listed in the "Research questions" column of the table below.
Investment priorities Research questions Other requirements
Terrestrial biodiversity and biosecurity What methods of, or improvements to, biodiversity and ecosystem service measurement and reporting will best serve New Zealand? Proposals must be of 2 to 6 years’ duration.
Freshwater objectives, limits and responses How can we address gaps in the national freshwater management framework around objectives, limits and responses? Proposals must be of 2 to 6 years’ duration.
