Apply now for NZ-China Biomedical Research Alliance Fund


The Health Research Council of New Zealand (HRC) is now seeking applications from New Zealand-based researchers with demonstrated collaborations and linkages with China-based researchers.
 
This Request for Proposals (RFP) aligns with the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment’s Catalyst: Strategic Fund, which aims to facilitate the development of research collaborations between New Zealand researchers and international colleagues.
 
This investment is designed to support a research project focusing on health and biomedical science as agreed by the New Zealand and Chinese funding agencies. The HRC invites applications for funding of up to $405,000 (fully-costed, exclusive of GST) and duration of up to three years. It is anticipated that funding for up to two projects will be available for a March 2024 start date.
 
A parallel application process for collaborating China and New Zealand-based researchers will be run and applicants must apply in their home country.
 
Interested parties should read the RFP document and guidelines on HRC Gateway before completing the registration and subsequent full application. Applicants must register on HRC Gateway no later than 1pm on Friday 19 May 2023.
