The Health Research Council’s Career Development Awards are critical to launching research careers and building research capability and capacity in Aotearoa New Zealand. These awards help sustain a skilled and diverse research workforce, with funding for different career stages, including opportunities for practicing health professionals. 

A range of awards is available to support the career development of health researchers, including Māori and Pacific health researchers undertaking postgraduate research qualifications.

Funding towards future leaders is also available through a range of fellowships. The recipients of these fellowships typically go on to secure further research funding to help them remain active in New Zealand health research.
