The MBIE Science Whitinga Fellowship is aimed at supporting excellent early career researchers impacted by COVID-19 in the New Zealand research science system. This is a one-off initiative and will provide support of around $10 million over two years for 30 Fellows.
The Endeavour Fund plays a unique role in the science system through investing in excellent science with the potential to positively impact New Zealand’s economy, environment and society. The 2026 investment round will be through contract extension rather than open contest.
From April 2020 to June 2020, we called for expression of interests for COVID-19 Innovation Acceleration Fund (the Fund) funding.
