Deadline: 1 October 2017
The Maurice and Phyllis Paykel Trust is seeking applications for its Project & Equipment Grants to support research projects in any field relevant to human health, including basic biomedical sciences.
The Trust encourages the development of health-related research in New Zealand by providing funds for research support.
Types of Grants
- Project Grants provide limited research support for individuals or groups working in any health-related sciences, including the fields of public health and health education. Support is usually sufficient to provide only for running costs of the research and/or some necessary equipment, but limited salary support may also be provided on special justification. Project grants are usually for one year, but exceptionally the Trust may support a project for up to two years.
- Equipment Grants assist with the purchase of larger equipment items for shared use within a research institution. Justification depends on the needs of the research field and the institution, as well as on the merits of individual research projects.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applicants have to be a qualified research worker in a health science field in New Zealand.
- The Trust gives preference to graduates with a proven record of research productivity and access to suitable facilities for their research. Applications are not accepted from PhD or Masters students.
- That beginning 2018 there will be a one year stand-down period for successful applicants. Details of this new regulation will be posted after the close of the October/November funding round 2017.
- Ask the Trust’s office if they’re not sure whether they or their proposal are eligible.
