From 01 July 2023, Royal Society Te Apārangi (the Society) acknowledges Catalyst: Seeding and Catalyst: Leaders review activities deemed to take a day or more with a honorarium of $200 per round reviewed. We will email all eligible reviewers a reminder at the completion of the call.
There are two ways to claim the honorarium:

1. Claiming the honorarium through your institution
Your institution sends an invoice to the Royal Society Te Apārangi at international.applications@royalsociety.org.nz for $200 plus GST ($230 incl. GST).
The invoice must be received by the Society within 1 month of the deadline for submitting scores in the given Catalyst call. Please ensure the invoice specifies your name and that you are claiming the money for review activities for Catalyst: Seeding or Catalyst: Leaders.
