Funding & Grants

Sources of research funding available to UPNG staff and postgraduate researchers.

UPNG research is funded through a mix of internal grants, PNG government funding, and international donor and university partnerships. The Research Office maintains current information on open funding rounds and can advise on eligibility and applications.

  • Internal UPNG research grants, awarded competitively each year
  • PNG Government and DHERST research funding
  • International donor and partner-university funding, usually tied to a specific research collaboration

Staff interested in applying for funding should contact the Research Office early — most funding rounds require institutional endorsement before a proposal can be submitted.
