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.
The 2026 investment round was an opportunity for eligible existing contract holders to extend their contacts for one year. 45 applications were approved for contract extensions and additional funding.
