A grant of $11,000 was obtained from the University Grants Committee to run the nine man expedition. This covered the major running costs of food, travel and freight, insurance, field clothing and minor scientific supplies. The University's Internal Research Committee provided financial support for five students, a grant towards a Salinity Temperature Bridge, and a Ph.D. research grant with which 1,000 metres of winch wire was purchased. A "Golden Kiwi" scientific grant provided money towards the major items of scientific equipment built for the McMurdo Sound Sediments programme.
