Criteria for Proposals for National Science Challenges funding
General Introduction
In August 2012, the Government agreed to the creation of the National Science Challenges policy. The Challenges are a set of mission-led science investments that will help to address some of the most fundamental issues New Zealand faces for its future development. The process of identifying the Challenges involved significant public engagement and recommendations by an independent National Science Challenge Panel.
The Science Board will make decisions on all proposals for National Science Challenges funding. Proposals will be sought using a request for proposals document.
Definitions
- Business plan – a document that outlines arrangements including the governance, management and financial structures that will be used to undertake a Challenge.
- Co-funding – cash or in-kind support provided by other organisations to the contracted party, to support the delivery of the Challenge objective, and outcomes (under the themes) for a particular proposal. Co-funding does not include funding from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment or other government departments and agencies unless they are potential users of the research and the funding is specifically to support the delivery of the Challenge objective, and outcomes (under the themes).
- Mission-led science investments – the funding of research, science, or technology or related activities directed at achieving a specific outcome.
- Outcome – the likely or achieved short- and medium-term effects of an intervention’s outputs.
- Proposal – a document that comprises a research plan and a business plan for a specific Challenge.
- Related activities – includes engagement with communities, schools, businesses and end-users of research to support/ensure technology transfer and uptake; capability development directly associated with the research planned; science communication and promotion; and providing for open access and reuse of data.
- Relevant schedule – the schedule that outlines the specific Challenge objective, themes and outcomes.
- Research plan – a document that outlines a research strategy and research programme(s) that will be undertaken to achieve the objective and outcomes (under the themes) in a Challenge.
- Science priorities – areas of research, science, technology and related activities that the government has identified as key priorities.
