The HRC uses a funding framework for the Annual Funding Round. All applicants should review the Investment Signals General Guidelines and the Frequently Asked Questions document. The funding framework has four Research Investment Streams, with the Research Investment Steam investment signals to guide funding decisions:
- Health and Wellbeing in New Zealand - Keeping populations healthy and independent throughout life
- Improving Outcomes for Acute and Chronic Conditions in New Zealand - Improving outcomes for people with illness or injury
- New Zealand Health Delivery - Improving health and disability service delivery outcomes over the short-to-medium term
- Rangahau Hauora Māori- Supporting Māori health research that upholds rangatiratanga and utilises and advances Māori health knowledge, resources and people
-
The Ministry of Science and Innovation, the HRC, and the Royal Society of New Zealand utilise a common CV template, NZ MSI Curriculum Vitae Standard (MSI CV), which can be used in all funding applications. It standardises the type of information asked for and eliminates the need for researchers to reformat their CV each time they apply to a different funder. This template (previously called the NZ RS&T CV Standard CV template) should be used for any HRC application which requires a CV.
