Q: Can we submit a full application if we have not submitted a Registration of Intent?  

A: If you missed the registration of intent deadline and are still interested in submitting an application please contact Ms Katie Hart, at the HRC, khart@hrc.govt.nz or 09 3035081.

Q: My organisation has submitted a ROI, will we be receiving feedback to advise if the ROI had sufficient merit to warrant under the undertaking of a full proposal?  

A: Registrations of Intent are not assessed.  These are submitted as an indication that you will be submitting a full application.  Due to this no feedback can be given regarding the merit of the application.  Please read the RFP carefully to make sure you meet all the requirements.

Q: Can we submit more than one full application?  

A: If you have more than one distinct research project then you are welcome to submit more than one full application.

Q: What is the deadline for full applications?  

A: Full applications are due on Friday 14th November, 5pm and 12 hardcopies of the proposal must be received by the HRC by this time.  If an extension is required this must be requested in advance and written authorisation from the HRC must be given.

Q: Do all ethics and Maori approvals have to be completed and attached to the application?  

A: We do not need the ethics approval forms attached to the full applications.  If your project is selected for funding and requires ethics approval then this needs to be sought before the research commences.  If you have letters of support for your research these can be attached to the application form.  Please see section 5G of the application guidelines.
