Decisions as to whether to support a senior scientist will be taken by the RSNZ Council.
The fund will give preference to requests for research expenses over and above those that a university or Crown Research Institute in New Zealand would normally be expected to cover. Examples include expenses to:
- cover a visit to an institution in New Zealand or overseas,
- expenses related to specialist assays or methodologies,
- research assistance to carry out a specific task or
- expenses relating to a visit to the research group of a visitor.
The closing date for applications is Friday, 30 March 2012, and funding will be provided each year as long as it is available.
