Research Funding Schemes
In January 2013, four new Research Funding Schemes were introduced to support staff members in the realisation of high-level academic-theoretical or practice-based research activities. Since then, more than 50 research proposals have been approved for internal funding, with a total financial commitment from the institution exceeding S$1,900,000. Academics from all faculties, including the Ngee Ann Kongsi Library and the Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore, were represented in the successful applications.
Research Project Funding
The Research Project Funding (RPF) scheme provides financial assistance up to a maximum of S$20,000 per annum per person to support small or medium-scale research projects.
Major Research Funding
The Major Research Funding (MRF) scheme provides financial assistance up to a maximum of S$50,000 per annum per person to support major research activities.
Academic Qualification Funding
The Academic Qualification Funding (AQF) scheme provides financial assistance up to a maximum of S$25,000 per annum per person to support studies leading to MA/PhD level academic qualifications.
Professional & Creative Activity
The Professional and Creative Activity (PCA) scheme is a retrospective scheme that allows individual staff members or a team of staff to submit applications for PCA points for activities that were conducted within a defined time span, normally corresponding to the previous academic year.
