This page has information on how Centres of Asia-Pacific Excellence (CAPEs) funding was allocated and paid.

Funding mechanism

The CAPEs funding mechanism was issued by the former Minister responsible for tertiary education issues. The funding mechanism outlined the purpose of the fund and gave authority to the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) to administer the funding.

Funding allocation

In 2016/17 we invited applications for CAPE funding from the university sector. Applications were assessed and, as a result, three CAPEs were established, to which we allocated funding from 2017.
