Goals and Strategies

The Research Office of Medicine Academic Clinical Programme (Medicine ACP) aims to improve patient outcomes through high value research.  We have developed the following strategies to achieve these goals by working closely with our academic partners:

• Developing clinical scientists/investigators

• Applying research findings to clinical care


Developing Clinical Scientists/Investigators

Nurturing Clinician Researcher Scheme (NCRS)

The Nurturing Clinician Researcher Scheme (NCRS) aims to nurture and develop our young clinicians who are passionate about research work to gain experience and competencies to strive for competitive national grants. This Scheme paves the way forward for clinicians to embark on their research careers. This Scheme has been a successful stepping stone for clinician-researchers to contend for national grants such as the National Medical Research Council (NMRC) Transition Award (TA) and the NMRC Clinician Scientist Award (CSA).


Pitch for Fund (PFF)

This Pitch for Fund Programme was initiated in 2013 and aimed at cultivating research interest among the junior and senior residents, medical officers and registrars. It provides funding to kick-start their research projects.

Shortlisted candidates are required to present their research proposals to a panel of judges who assess each project’s feasibility and methods before providing suggestions to fine tune and improve their projects. Besides being a stepping-stone for budding clinician-researchers, this programme provides a platform for Medicine ACP to collaborate with distinguished clinician-researchers across SingHealth and Duke-NUS Medical School.
