✨ Science Funding Criteria

NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 132 — 30 OCTOBER 2014

Hon STEVEN JOYCE, Minister of Science and Innovation.

Schedule 1

Smart Ideas Investment Mechanism

Specific policy objectives—(1) Smart Ideas is designed to drive innovation and an entrepreneurial culture in the research community. Smart Ideas supports novel ideas and emerging capability in research, science, or technology, or related activities, which refresh the national science portfolio.

(2) Smart Ideas is intended to:

a. support basic discovery of, or applied research into, novel, promising ideas;

b. provide early guidance to researchers on positioning research, science, or technology, or related activities for successful application or commercialisation; and

c. attract proposals from, and support, early career researchers in addition to more experienced researchers.

(3) Subject to clause 2.2, Smart Ideas funding is available in two phases: a research phase ("Phase 1") and an application phase ("Phase 2"). The objectives of each phase are as follows:

a. The objective of Phase 1 is investigative, in that it aims to use an innovative approach to develop new knowledge that will solve a problem, fulfil a need, or prove a hypothesis. While proposals should identify the potential application and benefits of the idea, the implementation pathway and user relationships should be indicative rather than detailed.

b. The objective of Phase 2 is to encourage applicants to undertake research, science, or technology, or related activities that will help apply the idea to achieve its market potential.

Specific eligibility criteria—(1) To be eligible for funding under the Smart Ideas investment mechanism in either Phase 1 or Phase 2, the applicant must have committed to:

a. receiving advice or mentoring from an entrepreneur or similar commercialisation specialist to aid commercial positioning, or from an end user or service provider who could potentially apply the results of the research, science, or technology, or related activities; and

b. ensuring that some market or user needs analysis will be undertaken or sourced during the programme to aid its positioning.

(2) A proposal is eligible for Smart Ideas funding in Phase 2 only if the proposed research, science, or technology, or related activities directly build on the research programme that received Smart Ideas funding in Phase 1.

Specific assessment criteria—(1) A proposal for Smart Ideas funding that has been assessed as meeting the eligibility criteria for science-led contestable funding must be assessed against the following specific assessment criteria, and each assessment criterion must be weighted as set out below:

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
