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 $5000.
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.
Applicants must be New Zealand citizens or New Zealand permanent residents.
- Applications for retrospective funding will not be considered.
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.
For further information, please contact James To, Senior Adviser (Research and Engagement).
