The e-ASIA Joint Research Programme (JRP) and the Health Research
Council of New Zealand are seeking applications for funding through the
e-ASIA JRP. Refer to the following website for more detail: www.the-easia.org/jrp/index.html.
The e-ASIA JRP initiates and supports multilateral joint-research
programmes in the East Asian region, and aims to develop a vibrant and
collaborative research community in science and technology; promote
innovation in the East Asian region; and contribute to the region’s
economic development. New Zealand, via the HRC, is a member of the
program. Other members of the e-ASIA JRP include: Cambodia, Indonesia,
Japan, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Russia, USA, and Vietnam.
This call requests researchers to focus on one of the following health research areas: infectious diseases or cancer research.
To be eligible, New Zealand researchers must be involved in a
collaboration and involve the participation of at least two other e-ASIA
members.
The HRC has $450,000 over three years available for allocation to one research project.
It is acceptable for the proposed research to be an ‘add on’ to an existing collaborative activity or a new research project.
Applicants should read the application guidelines before preparing an
application including the specific requirements of funding agencies in
partner countries. This is a two stage process, applicants are be
required to submit their pre-applications to the HRC for forwarding to
the e-ASIA secretariat. Email your application to: fkenning@hrc.govt.nz.
If applications are successful in the first stage, then full
applications should be prepared, utilising the application form prepared
by e-ASIA secretariat, and submitted to the HRC for forwarding to the
e-ASIA secretariat.
Applicants should note that both pre-applications and full
applications (if applicants are successful in the first stage), will be
assessed independently by the HRC and by the agencies in the
international collaborators countries.
