A new research fund is now available for community organisations. The Lottery Community Sector Research Fund was recently launched by Internal Affairs.
$1.75 million will be made available this year for community organisations applying to undertake research or evaluation projects about New Zealand communities.
"The Fund will strengthen the research capacity of community organisations and allow them to develop the scope and nature of the research they want to carry out themselves. The Fund will also be available to strengthen the practice of Maori-centred and kaupapa Maori research” said Internal Affairs Minister, Rick Barker.
There are two stages for applications to the new fund. The first stage is to submit a Research Idea to be considered by the distribution committee. The committee will then invite its selected applicants to submit a Full Research Proposal. Applications for Stage one, the Research Idea will open on 1 May 2008 and close on 1 July 2008.
Invitations to selected applicants to lodge a Full Research Proposal will be issued after the committee meets to make its selection in late August.
