New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre (NZAGRC) and AgriZeroNZ are working to provide New Zealand(NZ) farmers with a suite of fit for purpose, practical and cost effective tools to reduce agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. NZAGRC and AgriZeroNZ are partnering to run a competitive round to identify and support innovative ideas and opportunities.
Expressions of Interest (EOI) are sought for projects to address the following research topics:
• Reducing nitrous oxide emissions from ruminant animal deposited urine.
• Reducing methane emissions from enteric fermentation in grazing ruminants.
We welcome applications that are seeking to develop novel approaches, and/or significantly strengthen or accelerate current approaches that show major promise for bringing practical, farm-level solutions closer to implementation within a timely manner for NZ farmers.
Up to NZ$4M is available. NZAGRC and AgriZeroNZ will each contribute up to NZ$2M to the round.
Individual projects have a maximum duration of 2 yrs and a maximum value of $1M per project.
Applications are invited from both NZ and international organisations. Collaborations are encouraged.
Two stage process:
• Stage 1 – submission of EOIs and short-listing by a Technical Assessment Panel.
• Stage 2 – NZAGRC/AgriZeroNZ staff work with short-listed applicants to develop contract-ready research applications for Technical Assessment Panel re-assessment and approval by NZAGRC and AgriZeroNZ Executives will make the final decision on which projects are successful, taking into account the recommendations of the Technical Assessment Panel, the existing funding portfolios and the broader NZ funding landscape.
Research projects should be conducted in a manner that ensures the widest possible benefit to NZ. IP arrangements will be negotiated on a case-by-case.
