These grants support Māori health researchers to develop a project proposal to submit in our annual contestable funding round. Up to $10,000 is available. The grants can be used to source independent and reputable expert advice while developing a proposal, mitigate the costs of consulting with particular communities and relevant organisations, and/or access resources critical to developing a proposal.

Eligibility criteria

To be eligible for these grants, you'll need to be a New Zealand citizen or hold residency in New Zealand and be of Māori descent. The development grant fund must be administered through a host institution bank account and not an individual bank account. You must also have a true intention of applying to our annual contestable funding round.
