Marsden Fund awards 2001
$10.0 m allocated to new Marsden projects
A total of 82 new research projects will receive $29 million support over the
next three years from the Marsden Fund, administered by the Royal Society of
New Zealand. In their first year, the projects will receive $10 million, of
which $1 million has been allocated to 20 "Fast-Start" researchers
who are in the early stages of their research careers.
The money for new projects is part of the $27.8 million commitment of Government
money for cutting edge research - a $2 million increase on the previous year.
Each successful project receives funding for 2 or 3 years.
Applications to the Fund are very competitive. Of the 884 preliminary proposals
(707 Standard proposals and 177 Fast-Start proposals), 179 were asked to submit
a full proposal. Overall, 9.3% of the total number of applications were successful.
The Chair of the Marsden Committee, Professor Diana Hill, said, "I am
delighted with the quality and range of the projects that we have been able
to fund this year; they constitute some really exciting research. In particular,
the Fast-Start initiative has been a resounding success in attracting high quality
applications from outstanding young researchers. Many applications which were
not successful this year were of a very high calibre. We certainly encourage
those applicants to reapply next year."

Table 1: Applications by panel in 2001. Note that the
totals include proposals sent to more than one panel so that these are greater
than the number of separate proposals, which was 884 (707 Standard proposals
and 177 Fast-Start proposals). For each panel the number of standard proposals
is given with the Fast-Start ones in brackets underneath.
