From: john luke
Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,
I note on your website,
https://www.mbie.govt.nz/science-and-tec...
MBIE may obtain expert assessment of any proposal at its discretion, from staff of relevant government agencies or external reviewers who have signed a confidentiality agreement.
Decisions will be made by the Minister of Research, Science and Innovation. MBIE will provide the Minister with recommendations regarding proposals received, which may include due diligence such as consideration of cost effectiveness. Special conditions may be attached to funding approval.
May I ask who are your external reviewers and how are they appointed. What is their pay rate per assessment. Also, I noted on your other funds, like Catalyst Fund and Endeavour Fund, you also mentioned you use expert panel or external reviewer to help with your selection, may I also request the list of people been used, how you select them and how can public submit their expression of interest and what is their pay rate.
Yours faithfully,
john luke
