Research Grants
The Trust Board is interested in research relevant to Taranaki in agriculture and horticulture in its broadest sense including production animals, plants, forestry, the environment and food. While the Trust is primarily interested in funding research relevant to the Taranaki region, other applications will be considered. Given the Trust’s interest in developing people intending to follow careers in agriculture, research proposals undertaken by postgraduate students will be given preference.
The Critera
Applications for research proposals should clearly lay out:
- The objectives of the research projects,
- The significance of the research (to the Taranaki region and/or New Zealand),
- The capability of the research team,
- Timelines, and
- A budget, including contributions from other parties.
Applications Close
Closing date for submissions is 28th February each year. The Trustees’ decision is final.
The funding of submissions will be notified by June of each year.
