Scientists from New Zealand (NZ) and China will share in a $1 million pool of funding aimed at partnering researchers from each country to collaborate on projects aimed at advancing knowledge and technologies to prevent, diagnose, and manage COVID-19.

The New Zealand Health Research Council (HRC) announced the 2020 NZ and China COVID-19 Collaboration Fund (NSFC) (pdf) in September last year. It offers scientists grants of up to $350,000 from a $1 million dollar funding pool, for the chance to work on two-year projects with Chinese scientists.
