Dear Dr Shaw,
Thank you for your email of 15 September 2016 requesting under the Official Information Act 1982, the
following information:
Might you please update the response you gave to me some time ago regarding the research money
for the regions, by giving an account of how much money is directed at projects in Taranaki, their
objectives, what reports you have on their advancement, and who is responsible for those projects?
A comparative spreadsheet showing the level of funding to other regions for comparison would also
be informative.
Your request is being processed in accordance with the Official Information Act 1982. If you have any
enquiries regarding your request, you may contact us via email at [MBIE request email] or
