Over the first six months of 2016, Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga has distributed grants and awards totalling more than $250,000 to almost 30 Māori researchers from around the country.

These grants and awards are designed to build capability and expand capacity in our wider network, offering opportunities for researchers to engage in new project research, advance their careers and expertise, and deliver real outcomes for their communities.

We would like to congratulate all of our current recipients on their success, and encourage our wider community to review our Grants and Awards programme over the coming months.

Applications are currently still open for the:

  1. Fulbright-NPM Graduate Award (closed 1 August) 
  2. NPM Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (closed 3 August)
  3. Fulbright-NPM Scholar Award (closes 1 October)

We have also recently highlighted our intention to seed and scope new research with the new Kia Tō Kia Tipu; Seeding Excellence and Kia Ārohi Kia Mārama; Scoping Excellence funds which will allow researchers to embark on new projects which fit within NPM's research themes. An announcement on these new funding opportunities will be made later in July.
