What do we fund?
LEARN Technician Award
The LEARN Technician Award will provide funds for up to 6 months for a Technician from a developing country to travel to a New Zealand organisation to receive training on equipment, tools or methods that when applied in their home organisation/country will improve the measurement of and understanding of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture.
LEARN Co-funded PhD Scholarship
The LEARN co-funded PhD Scholarship will provide a stipend for a PhD student from a developing country to benefit from having supervision from a researcher based at a institution in New Zealand. The Scholarship is for a maximum of three years duration and the student can be enrolled in a PhD programme in their home country or at a New Zealand Institution to receive the Scholarship.
LEARN Postdoctoral Fellow Award
The LEARN Postdoctoral Fellowship will enable an emerging researcher from a developing country to work on a research project mentored by a New Zealand researcher while being based at an institution in New Zealand. The award aims to build capacity amongst scientists to facilitate their future or ongoing participation in research, development and extension activities or programmes directly related to the mitigation of ruminant livestock greenhouse gas emissions in their home country, as well as build closer relationships with New Zealand.
Global Research Alliance Senior Scientist Award
The GRASS Award will provide funds for extended exchanges between New Zealand scientists and scientists from other Alliance member countries in accordance with the mission and objectives of LEARN and the Alliance.
