The Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School Singapore (Duke-NUS) is pleased to announce a call for applications from Duke faculty interested in visiting the school. The purpose of this program is to promote development of collaborative research projects between Duke and Duke-NUS faculty.

Applications will be reviewed by a joint Duke-Duke-NUS committee and selections made by August 31, 2014. Priority will be given to Duke faculty members who are making their first visit to Duke-NUS. We anticipate making up to six awards.
