Duke School of Medicine and the Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School in Singapore have announced a call for proposals for collaborative research pilot projects between faculty based in Durham with those based in Singapore.
The ultimate goal of this program is the development of international research teams that advance translational and clinical research, including research on medical technologies. Translational research is defined as research with an aim toward human application.
For each project, up to US$100,000 will be available to the Duke PI and SGD$100,000 to the Duke-NUS PI. Awards are for one year, but a no-cost extension of an additional year would be granted 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.
