• •We analyze whether research funding contests promote co-authorship.•We use rich publication and grant proposal data on New Zealand researchers.•Grant applicant pairs were more likely to co-author immediately after applying than non-applicant pairs.•Funded pairs were more likely to co-author after three to four years than unfunded pairs.•Our analysis suggests that funding promotes co-authorship causally. We analyze whether research funding contests promote co-authorship. Our analysis combines Scopus publication records with data on the Marsden Fund, the premier source of funding for basic research in New Zealand. We use fixed-effect models to analyze within-researcher-pair variation in co-authorship. Among pairs who ever co-authored or co-proposed, co-authorship was 13.8 percentage points more likely in a given year if they had co-proposed during the previous ten years than if they had not. This co-authorship rate was not significantly higher among funded pairs. However, when we increase post-proposal publication lags towards the length of a typical award, we find that funding, rather than participation, promotes co-authorship.
