✨ Science Funding Schedules
NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 91 — 12 SEPTEMBER 2017
i. is focused on achieving outcomes that will contribute to the overall objective for the Challenge;
ii. has regard to the “themes” and “outcomes” in the table below; and
iii. may include different themes and/or outcomes that can better meet the Challenge objective, provided there are reasons for their inclusion.
| Themes | Outcome statements |
|---|---|
| Clinical application (what food to do what) | Health targets are identified that are amenable to a science evidence-based solution to drive economic growth. |
| Biomarkers (measuring impact, clarifying risk) | New Zealand science provides authoritative leadership and capability on validated biomarkers for human health. |
| Meeting consumer references and health values | Profitable high-value food products are produced and marketed backed by scientifically validated health claims. |
| Science of food | The biological delivery of safe, efficacious and acceptable food products to consumers is enabled, regardless of target export market. |
Note: Food is defined as food and beverage for human consumption.
Schedule 3: The Deep South: Te Kōmata o Te Tonga
1. Objective
1.1 This Challenge will understand the role of the Antarctic and southern ocean in determining our climate and our future environment.
2. Funding
2.1 The Science Board may allocate no more than $51.1 million (excluding GST) for The Deep South: Te Kōmata o Te Tonga across the first and second funding periods.
3. Specific assessment criteria
3.1 To be eligible for funding under this Challenge the applicant must:
a. have received first period funding for this Challenge;
b. provide a proposal for research, science, and technology, or related activities that:
i. is focused on achieving outcomes that will contribute to the overall objective for the Challenge;
ii. has regard to the “themes” and “outcomes” in the table below; and
iii. may include different themes and/or outcomes that can better meet the Challenge objective, provided there are reasons for their inclusion.
| Themes | Outcome statements |
|---|---|
| Processes, uncertainties and tipping points, including detection and attribution | The fundamental science, essential for robust “predictions/projections of change,” is identified and prioritised to fill current knowledge gaps. |
| Predictions/projections of change | Predictions/projections for the “consequences of change” are improved. |
| Consequences of change: adaptable, responsive and resilient New Zealand | The critical role that the Antarctic and southern ocean have in our social, cultural and economic wellbeing and implications for active kaitiakitanga are well understood by New Zealanders. |
Knowledge of how our environment will change (incorporating risk and uncertainty) contributes to the development of appropriate policy and adaptation plans and is implemented through our decisions as New Zealanders. |
Schedule 4: New Zealand’s Biological Heritage: Ngā Koiora Tuku Iho
