NPM Publication Support Grants have closed for 2018. Please check back in early 2019.

Purpose: NPM Publication Support Grants have a long and successful history of providing support for Māori researchers to publish and/or disseminate their research findings. The grant is for books, written in the Māori language and other creations including photography and web publications that contribute to Indigenous research development and the research programme of Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga (NPM).

Applicants are encouraged to follow the application guidelines/requirements carefully and to ensure the budget is justified and reasonable. We expect applications to be quite diverse.  Applications will be assessed individually on their own merits. 

Eligibility: The grant is for senior students, emerging and established Māori researchers at one of NPM's 21 Partner Institutions and will generally cover a one-year publishing project.

Value: up to a maximum of $15,000 (ex GST) per grant.  Expect at least 2 awards.
