Funding Opportunities

The HRC supports research that has the potential to improve health outcomes and delivery of healthcare, and to produce economic gain for New Zealand.

We allocate the majority of funds through an annual funding round to independent research projects that are researcher initiated. Requests for Proposals are also issued when we wish to support research in a particular area. A range of awards are available to support the career development of emerging health researchers, and Māori and Pacific researchers.

Applying for funding?
Both of these documents should be reviewed if you intend to apply for funding: The Investment Strategy sets out the funding opportunities available each year and the HRC Rules sets out the permissible use of research funding as well as the contractual requirements and processes.
