NZSSD and DNZRF (the Diabetes New Zealand Research Foundation) will be supporting studentships during the 2024/25 summer period. These are generally targeted at undergraduate, honours and/or masters students who have not yet completed their degree.
Projects must be diabetes related and appropriate supervision needs to be provided by the host institution.
Any member can nominate a candidate. The nomination needs a sponsor within the Executive. Members of the executive are happy to be contacted with your recommended nominee's name.
NZSSD can provide funding for projects to improve diabetes care for tāngata whai ora, whānau and the systems we work within. The purpose of this is to improve outcomes for tāngata whai ora and reduce inequities.
A maximum of one project will be funded annually by NZSSD, awarding up to $10000 plus GST.
Only NZSSD members can apply and members cannot be awarded the project fund more than once within a five-year period. Applicants must be financial members of NZSSD for at least one year.
Projects must benefit tāngata whai ora and have a strong equity focus. They also must be beneficial for Aotearoa, and the outcomes from the project be easily accessible (e.g., if resources are produced, they are accessible via the NZSSD website for all).
