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

Its stated mission is "[i]nvesting 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 Foundation's programs include TechNZ, which channels funds to commercial entities.[3]

The New Zealand Ministry of Research, Science and Technology (MoRST)[4] undertook a review of New Zealand's entire research-funding process during 2009.
