Each year, Duke University and Duke-NUS Medical School invite proposals for collaborative research pilot projects between faculty based in Durham with those based in Singapore.
The goal of this program is the development of international research teams that will advance basic, translational, and clinical research based on a specific research theme.
For each project, USD $100,000 will be available to the Duke PI and SGD $100,000 to the Duke-NUS PI. Awards are for 2 years, though a single no-cost extension of an additional 6 months may be considered upon request.
Applications will be evaluated according to the scientific merit of the proposal, and the strength and clarity of the collaboration between the Duke and Duke-NUS Co-PIs.
