Marsden grant

Marsden Fund grants are contestable funding for investigator-led fundamental research in New Zealand. Grants are made in all areas of research in science, engineering, and mathematics. The grants are made from the Marsden Fund, which was established by the New Zealand Government in 1994. The Marsden Fund is administered by the Royal Society of New Zealand. Most of the grants go to researchers at New Zealand universities, but some go to researchers at Crown Research Institutes and elsewhere. The grants are named after English-New Zealand physicist Ernest Marsden (1889–1970). In December 2024, the Government announced that it would end Marsden grants to humanities and social science research to focus on "core sciences" that would "grow the New Zealand economy."
