Research funding documents and templates

Natural Hazards Commission Toka Tū Ake wants to be an active partner with researchers, not just a funder of research. We strive to understand what people are doing with their research so that we can stay up-to-date and informed as an advocate and thought leader on issues related to New Zealand’s resilience to natural hazards. This means establishing a supportive and respectful relationship that goes well beyond the life of a contract. We understand that the path to uptake and impact of research can be long and quite complicated but that is why we are committed to engaging and supporting research and working across the system to ensure the research it funds is useable, useful, and used.

The following forms and documents are intended to assist and inform suppliers, host organisations and researchers who seek research funding from us. We encourage you to read our Research funding expectations policy and Research reporting guidelines below before you apply for funding with us.
