This year the TLRI fund is prioritising the following areas:
- Research on topics of strategic importance within the early childhood education and/or compulsory school sectors.
- Research that focuses on success for Māori learners as Māori in any sector.
- Research that focuses on success for Pacific learners as Pacific in any sector.
Recent changes to the Whatua Tū Aka application process
Researchers can now apply to Whatua Tū Aka at either the Expression of Interest or the Full Proposal stage. Whatua Tū Aka applicants who submit an Expression of Interest application will receive panel feedback that they can use to inform their Full Proposal application. To be considered for funding, Whatua Tū Aka applicants must submit an application at the Full Proposal stage. You can read more about this new opportunity in the Guidance document.
An opportunity for applicants submitting Pacific-focussed applications
Last year, the TLRI introduced a new opportunity for researchers submitting proposals that focus on supporting success for Pacific learners. Applicants submitting Pacific-focused proposals to the TLRI’s Open pathway can now choose to have their applications assessed against a new set of Pacific criteria. You can read more about this opportunity in the Guidance document.
