Applications for the Health Research Council's 2019 Explorer Grants open on 3 October 2018.

Explorer grants support transformative research ideas that have a good chance of making a revolutionary change to how we manage New Zealanders' health. They are available in any health research discipline and are worth $150,000 for a term of up to 24 months.

The application form and guidelines will be available on the Explorer Grants page from mid-September.

Consultation is now underway to establish New Zealand's first set of health research priorities.

If you would like to have your say, please read the consultation document before filling out the online survey. For more on the priority-setting process, visit the Consultation page on the HRC website.
