The Foundation for Research, Science and Technology is a Crown Entity established by the Foundation for Research, Science, and Technology Act 1990.[1]

Its stated mission is to Invest for results from research, science and technology to deliver greater prosperity, security and opportunities to all New Zealanders.[2] It invests nearly $500 million per annum, divided between Universities, Crown research Institutes, Research Associations and Private Firms.

The Ministry of Research, Science and Technology (MoRST)[3] is reviewing the entire research funding process during 2009.
