Research Proposal Template
This document should be used to communicate the nature, impact and depth of a research proposal. The template also covers pathways to adoption, or further research. These Research Proposals will be provided to the DINZ team to determine the final composition of the annual research funding. The focus of this Research Proposal should be to demonstrate knowledge generation, impact on industry and value.

Please ensure all sections of this template are completed. Any incomplete fields might result in the application not being accepted for review by the Research Advisory Panel.

Evaluation of proposals are focused on the elements of Research Need, Value to Industry, Design and Method, Research Extension, Expertise of Research Team, and Capability development.

Submissions are accepted throughout the year, however, to be included in the regular funding round, submissions must be received by 21 February.

Any enquiries about the template should be directed to the DINZ Policy and Research Manager at research@deernz.org
