New Zealand History Research Trust

Published 12 December, 2011 by Editor

The New Zealand History Research Trust Fund offers financial assistance to people carrying out projects that will significantly enhance the understanding of New Zealand's past. The funding can be used for a variety of purposes: to enable historians to work full-time on a project; to pay for research and writing costs; and to pay for travel costs associated with research.

This year the Trust Fund may grant one major Award of $60,000, as well as a number of smaller Awards of up to $12,000.

Any individual or group may apply for an Award in History, but tertiary students and staff are not eligible for assistance. Applicants may reside outside New Zealand. Only works of non-fiction are eligible, and the scheme does not provide assistance for the collection or arrangement of archival material, the preparation of databases, or the publication of a work.

Applications for close on 15 October each year. An online application form is available. Please read the form carefully and ensure that your application includes all the information requested. The main requirements are a discussion of the significance of the project, an indication of the stage the work has reached, a budget, brief and relevant personal information, and the names of two referees who know your work.

Publisher Grants

From 2011 the History Research Trust Fund will also consider applications for grants from publishers. Although preference will be given to publishing the work of Trust Fund Award winners, other works of special historical significance will be considered. Publishers must supply a synopsis and sample chapter and agree to publish within two years of being awarded a grant. Applications close on 15 October each year. An online application form is available. Please read the form carefully and ensure that your application includes all the information requested.
