The HRC allocates funding through an annual funding round for researcher initiated projects, Requests for Proposals, and a range of career development awards.
We invest in a broad range of research on issues important to New Zealand, and support the development of health research careers. Our mission is 'benefiting New Zealand through health research'.
We will upload information about the latest recipients to have been awarded HRC funding for all of our funding opportunities as this information becomes officially available.
The information provided is for ‘year to date’ funding.
