The Health Research Council of New Zealand is seeking applications for its Explorer Grants to support transformative research ideas that have a good chance of making a revolutionary change to how we manage New Zealanders’ health.
Research Investment Streams
The HRC has established four Research Investment Streams (RIS) for the annual funding round:
- Health and wellbeing in New Zealand – Keeping populations healthy and independent throughout life
- Improving outcomes for acute and chronic conditions in New Zealand – Improving outcomes for people with illness or injury
- New Zealand health delivery – Improving health and disability service delivery outcomes over the short-to-medium term
- Rangahau hauora Māori – Supporting Māori health research that upholds rangatiratanga and uses and advances Māori health knowledge, resources, and people
Funding Information
Explorer grants are available in any health research discipline and are worth $150,000 for a term of up to 24 months.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for an explorer grant, applicant’s application must advance ideas, methodologies, tools or technologies considered to be transformative, innovative, exploratory or unconventional, and have potential for major impact. An impact on knowledge is valid, and the idea doesn’t need to be immediately applicable in terms of a health outcome.
