The Government is investing in a Strategic Science Investment Fund (SSIF) infrastructure platform for two nationally significant longitudinal studies, the Christchurch Health and Development Study, and the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Study.
This Investment Plan outlines the policy context for the He Ara Whakahihiko Capability Fund. Up to $8.6 million (excluding GST) is available to fund successful proposals in each investment round.
Our Science Board is the statutory body responsible for making independent investment decisions for the Endeavour Fund and National Science Challenges.
We invest in science through contestable funding rounds. This investment supports programmes which build high-performing science and innovation systems that will transform New Zealand into a more diverse, technologically advanced and smart nation.
