Charles Fleming Senior Scientist Award
Annual research grant worth up to $10,000 to support the research of a senior scientist at a university, Crown Research Institute, polytechnic or other research organisation in New Zealand, and that of their research group.
Decisions as to whether to support a senior scientist will be taken by the Chair and Deputy Chair of the Academy Executive Committee.
The fund will give preference to requests for research expenses over and above those that a university or Crown Research Institute in New Zealand would normally be expected to cover. Examples include expenses to:
- cover a visit to an institution in New Zealand or overseas;
- expenses related to specialist assays or methodologies;
- research assistance to carry out a specific task; or
- expenses relating to a visit to the research group of a visitor.
Funding will be provided each year as long as funds are available.
