DENNIS WILLIAM MOORE FUND
1. The fund shall be known as the Dennis William Moore Fund. It was established in 1999 by a capital donation to the
University of Canterbury from the Estate of Dennis William Moore, a Minister of Religion of Hari Hari and an Electrical
Inspector. The fund shall be administered by the University of Canterbury.
2. The purpose of the fund will be to support research in astronomy at Mt John University Observatory by the staff and
students of the University of Canterbury.
3. The University will invest the capital of the fund and make grants for astronomical research projects to the staff or to
their research students from time to time from the interest accruing from the fund's investments. In any year unused
portions of the interest will be added to the existing capital.
4. The following purposes are envisaged as eligible for support by the fund:
a)
a scholarship, to be known as the Dennis William Moore Scholarship, to support the living expenses and/or
university fees of an MSc thesis or PhD student in astronomy who has been or will be undertaking observational
work at Mt John as part of his/her thesis work;
b) grants for the purpose of providing the travel and approved living expenses of astronomy staff or students at the
University of Canterbury, to enable them to collaborate with colleagues or to participate in conferences, where
data from Mt John or work relating to Mt John is being respectively presented or evaluated;
c) grants for items of research equipment for use at Mt John University Observatory, or to supplement other grants
for such equipment;
d) grants for any other purpose that will benefit or promote the astronomical work undertaken at Mt John University
Observatory.
5. Grants from the fund will be awarded by Council following a successful application to a committee appointed to make
the awards. The committee shall consist of the Vice-Chancellor (or nominee), the Dean of the Faculty of Science and
the Head of the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
6. In determining the amount of any award, the Committee shall take the following points into consideration:
a) the merit of the application;
b) the compliance of the application with the purposes of the fund;
c) the unavailability of funds from other sources.
This last item shall mean that preference shall be given to applications that cannot easily be funded from other
sources.
7. Applications close with the Scholarships Office, University of Canterbury, no later than 5:00 pm on 1 May and 1
November.
