2018 MSD-HRC Research

Details

The Health Research Council of New Zealand (HRC) and the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) have formed a partnership to support innovative research and advance the strategic objectives of both organisations.

Through a Request for Proposals (RFP), the funding partners are seeking to fund high-quality research into innovative approaches for case management services which facilitate enhanced employment outcomes for clients with a health condition or disability. The funding partners are also seeking proposals to conduct a literature review (such as a systematic review or meta-analysis) of approaches that are effective in achieving employment outcomes for people who have a health condition or disability.

Applications to this RFP will be submitted via a one-stage process. Applicants are firstly required to submit a Registration via HRC Gateway (the HRC’s online application system). Registrations are due by 1pm, Wednesday 4 April 2018. The full application will need to be submitted via HRC Gateway by 1pm, Wednesday 2 May 2018.

A total funding pool of approximately $1.43 million (exclusive of GST) is available for allocation. The funding partners invite applications for funding of up to $475,000 (fully-costed, exclusive of GST) and duration of up to 2 years.

Please refer to the RFP for more information. The RFP, application forms and application guidelines are available on HRC Gateway https://gateway.hrc.govt.nz/funding/requests-for-proposals
