The Office of Duke-NUS Affairs (ODNA) supports collaborative initiatives that bring together expertise across Duke University, Duke-NUS Medical School, and SingHealth. Our work advances research, education, academic medicine, and institutional engagement while helping partners navigate and develop opportunities across both campuses.
What We Do
- Research Collaboration
We help cultivate research partnerships between investigators in Durham and Singapore by supporting collaborative grant programs, facilitating connections among faculty, helping coordinate joint symposia, and promoting opportunities that lead to new discoveries and healthcare innovations. - Academic and Faculty Engagement
We support joint faculty appointments, academic exchanges, visiting scholars, and educational programs that strengthen relationships across institutions and encourage the exchange of ideas, expertise, and best practices. - Student and Scholar Exchanges
We coordinate opportunities for medical students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, researchers, residents, and clinicians to engage in cross-campus education, research, and professional development. - Strategic Programs and Visits
From leadership delegations and academic engagement programs to faculty visits and institutional events, we facilitate meaningful interactions that deepen collaboration and support the long-term goals of the Duke-NUS partnership.
