Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment

Administration of the Applied Doctorates Scheme

The Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE) is publishing this Registration of Interest for the procurement of supplier(s) to administer and manage funding for the training of doctoral learners in applied skills, alongside research skills. 

The scheme is intended to help bridge the gap between academic research and generating value from that research through a program of practical training provided in conjunction with doctoral training. It aims to improve the integration of research in business, social and environmental settings, fills skills gaps and improves employment mobility and therefore career outcomes for graduates.
