This page is updated regularly. Please continue to check as new opportunities continue to be announced throughout the calendar year. Where the closing date has yet to be announced for 2024 (tba) the opportunity has been positioned in the calendar according to the closing date in 2023 - this may change. Check regularly for updates.

In addition to the external funding opportunities listed below, Te Toka Tumai Auckland staff have access to funding for their research from the Auckland Hospitals Research and Endowment Fund (AHREF). Researchers may apply for project grants up to a value of $50,000 or small project grants up to a value of $15,000. Contact Erin Hanlon ehanlon@adhb.govt.nz for more information.

NEW: Recently the European Commission and New Zealand signed on the participation of New Zealand to Horizon Europe, the EU’s research, and innovation programme. This means that researchers and organisations in NZ will be able to participate in Pillar II of the programme, of which health research is a key component. NZ researchers and organisations will collaborate in the programme on equal terms with entities from the EU. Read more about New Zealand joining Horizon Europe at the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment()
