Outcome-focused (Targeted Research) Foundation for RS&T Foundation for RS&T Foundation for RS&T New Economy Research Fund (NERF) NERF supports researcher-led innovation aimed at developing capability and knowledge in new areas or applications where industries are emerging or yet to emerge, in order to underpin new high-technology business opportunities. The focus of NERF funded research is on targeted basic research and human capital development that will underpin new enterprises and new sectors. Environmental Research This output class supports public good research, science and technology that enhances understanding and management of New Zealand’s environment. The research contributes to the understanding of species, habitats and ecosystems, and the human, pest and other influences to which they are exposed. Research outputs provide the knowledge that underpins the management, protection and enhancement of natural ecosystems. Research on sustainable use of ecosystems and the productive sector’s environment is also included as is the attention to the social impacts of new technologies. Research for Industry (RFI) The RFI output class supports public good research, science and technology to increase the competitiveness of New Zealand industries and sectors. Research portfolios aim to lead to new products, processes and services that enhance the competitiveness of these industries and sectors. Of relevance to biotechnology research, one of RFI’s key areas of focus is research whose primary objective is to advance food and fibre-based industries and related sectors through innovation. Research Consortia Research consortia (also funded out of the RFI output class) to facilitate public/private research partnerships that provide early user engagement and increase private investment in New Zealand. Research investment is made through user-led research consortia in partnership with research providers. They are industry-led, collaborative ventures established to fund and manage research. The consortia programme has been successful both in boosting private sector investment in science, and in increasing collaboration between researchers and investors. 66 Roadmaps for Science : biotechnology research
Outcome-focused (Targeted Research) Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry Foundation for RS&T Foundation for RS&T New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) Sustainable Farming Fund The purpose of the Sustainable Farming Fund (the Fund) is to support projects, including research projects that will contribute to improving the financial and environmental performance of the land-based productive sectors. The Fund aims to help the land based sectors solve problems and take up opportunities to overcome barriers to economic, social and environmental viability. It does this by bringing together “communities of interest”. These are groups of people, including researchers drawn together by a shared problem and/or opportunity, in the sustainable use of resources. Pre-seed Accelerator Fund (PSAF) Pre-Seed Accelerator funding seeks to accelerate the commercialisation of new knowledge from publicly funded research carried out by public sector and not-for-profit research organisations, by bridging the gap between generating such knowledge and producing a first prototype or similar development so that the commercial prospect is “investor-ready”. Technology NZ Technology New Zealand assists companies undertaking research and development (R&D) projects which result in new products, processes or services. The role of Technology New Zealand is to support companies wanting to overcome specific technical barriers which are likely to be part of the R&D phase. Australia New Zealand Biotechnology Partnership Fund The Australia New Zealand Biotechnology Partnership Fund (ANZBPF) is designed to facilitate and accelerate trans-Tasman biotechnology industry collaboration. The rationale behind the scheme being that by developing greater regional critical mass, Australian and New Zealand biotech companies obtain better access to global market opportunities. While not strictly speaking a research scheme, ANZBPF supports some late-stage research projects and partnerships. Roadmaps for Science : biotechnology research 67
