Asia New Zealand Foundation Postgraduate Research Grants |
Introduction
The Asia New Zealand Foundation maintains a limited pool of discretionary funding to support contemporary and forward-thinking postgraduate and academic research projects or programmes relating to Asia.
The Foundation invites applications for grants up to the value of $3000.
We are looking for contemporary and forward-thinking research projects that help grow New Zealand’s understanding of Asia in key policy areas, such as: regional and international trade, international law, defence, security, cyber, environment and diplomacy.
Proposals should include:
- clear and sound research questions and arguments
- anticipated outcomes and key outputs
- a detailed budget for grant proceeds - setting out anticipated travel, accommodation, fieldwork and research expenses (tuition fees will not be covered).
Asia-related research and fieldwork need not be tied to completion of a specific degree/qualification - one-off projects/programmes will also be considered.
On completion of their research, successful applicants will provide:
- a financial report of relevant expenditure
- a max 1000-word article (including photos) relating to the research that may be published on our website
Other conditions:
- Applicants must be New Zealand citizens or New Zealand permanent residents.
- Applications for retrospective funding will not be considered.
Applications are invited at any time over the coming year – with independent peer-reviewed assessment taking place three times a year (31 March, 31 July and 30 November).
We will endeavor to provide applicants with a decision about their application within eight weeks of the closing date of the most recent application round.
