The Health Research Council of New Zealand (HRC) and the Ministry of Health (the Ministry) have formed a joint research initiative which is seeking to purchase high quality research that will provide an evidence base to reduce pertussis (whooping cough) in New Zealand children, therefore reducing the impact of pertussis outbreaks.
Addressing pertussis in New Zealand is a key priority for the HRC and the Ministry, and research funded through this initiative will support the Ministry’s strategic planning for pertussis management. Through this Request for Proposals (RFP), the HRC and the Ministry are seeking to fund a short-term piece of research that will investigate and estimate vaccine effectiveness at specific ages. This is a rapid response round with the intention of providing the Ministry with key information within a short timeframe.
A total funding pool of approximately $135,000 (exclusive of GST) is available for allocation. The funding partners invite applications for funding of up to $135,000 (fully-costed, exclusive of GST) and duration of approximately four months.
Applications to this RFP will be submitted via a one-stage process. Applicants are required to submit a Registration via the HRC’s Gateway. Registration are due 12pm, Monday 20 October 2014. The full application form will need to be submitted via the HRC’s gateway by 12pm, Friday 24 October 2014.
Please refer to the RFP for more information. The RFP, application form and the application guidelines are available on the HRC website: www.hrc.govt.nz
