1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#
In March 2010 Cabinet decided to amalgamate the Ministry of Research, Science and Technology (MoRST) and the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology (FRST) into a new department. The Ministry of Science and Innovation (MSI) started on 1 February 2011, and then merged with three other agencies on 1 July 2012 to form the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment and continues under the Vote Science and Innovation (formerly Vote Research Science and Technology to 30 June 2011).
As a consequence of this and the restructure of the appropriations over the years the trend statement has been restated as far as practicable.
The following comments reflect the main policy decisions that impact the trends:
Output Expenses
The following are the key initiatives that impact the trend:
- rephase of the Growth Grants and Targeted Business Research and Development multi-year appropriations from 2013/14 to 2015/16 and 2016/17, and
- the transfer of the Business Incubator Operational funding from Vote Economic Development and Employment in 2014/15 and outyears.
Other Expenses
The following are the key impacts on the trend
- the ceasing of an expense transfer in 2010/11 for the Genomics Research Infrastructure
- the decrease in funding from 2010/11 for the Science Collections and Infrastructure resulting from transfer of funds to CRI Core funding
- the establishment of National eScience Infrastructure covering the funding to support the operation of this facility coming into effect from 2010/11
- the establishment of Advanced Network Capability covering the funding support for Research and Education Advanced Network New Zealand Ltd (REANNZ) in operating REANNZ Internet coming into effect from 2013/14
- a transfer of funds from 2013/14 to 2014/15 for the Australian Synchrotron, and
- the re-introduction of the Genomics Research Infrastructure in 2014/15.
Capital
Funding in the 2009/10 to 2011/12 years relates to capital investment in the organisations preceding the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.
The Capital investment from 2014/15 represents the capital investment in Callaghan Innovation.

| Total | 27,603 | 27,603 | 27,603 | 27,154 | ||
The above changes reflect the implementation and restructure of Multi-Class Output appropriations (MCOAs) to Multi-Category appropriations (MCAs) as per the Public Finance Act amendments.
Explanations of the reasons for changing the appropriation structure are noted in the details of each appropriation in Parts 2-4.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
These appropriations have been established through the changes to the Public Finance Act.
Policy Advice
The decreased appropriation from the previous equivalent appropriation is mainly due to a fiscally neutral adjustment of $2.500 million in 2013/14 as a result of a Vote realignment exercise across MBIE to reflect implementation of one cost allocation methodology.
Science and Innovation Contract Management
The decreased appropriation from the previous equivalent appropriation is mainly due to a fiscally neutral adjustment of $600,000 in 2013/14 as a result of a Vote realignment exercise across MBIE to reflect implementation of one cost allocation methodology.
Strategic Leadership in the Science and Innovation Sector
The increased appropriation from the previous equivalent appropriation is mainly due to a negative fiscally neutral adjustment of $4.770 million in 2013/14 as a result of a Vote realignment exercise across MBIE to reflect implementation of one cost allocation methodology, partially offset by a retention of underspend from 2012/13 to 2013/14 of $1.700 million.
