To help research organisations plan their bidding strategies in the Public Good, Science and Technology sector (PGS&T), the following spreadsheet summarises the cash commitments for contracts the Foundation? has invested in each research portfolio to 2010/11 as at 1 December 2007:
The spreadsheet reflects the funding profile of current PGS&T contracts. It includes Research Consortia? but excludes International Investment Opportunities Fund (IIOF?) contracts. Due to the majority of our contracts moving to the new contract year start date of 1 October, the first and last year within financial years may vary.
Researchers can use this information to plan which years they might decide to prepare a proposal, based on which contracts mature in any given year and the parties involved in those contracts.
If you have any questions about the information summarised in this spreadsheet, please contact your organisation's business manager.
If your organisation doesn't have an assigned business manager, please email investments@frst.govt.nz.
