Research and Publications Fund

HRINZ has established a Research and Publications Fund to encourage, support and provide financial assistance for research into and publication of work about the practice of Human Resources management and development in New Zealand. The fund is available to anyone who may be seeking assistance with research or the publication of information that meets this criteria.

Access to the fund is via the institute’s Research and Publications Committee, which will scrutinize applications and make a final decision about the request. Applications can be made to the committee by email to researcher@hrinz.org.nz .
