Funding Opportunities


Clinical and Systems Innovation Support

1) Clinical and Systems Innovation Support (Main) Grant

Introduction

The grant aims to promote clinical and systems innovation to transform healthcare, in support of SingHealth Duke-NUS AMC priorities.

Guiding Principles

The overarching goal of the Clinical & Systems Innovation proposals is to transform healthcare, especially in areas pertaining to:

    • Improvement of patient experience, clinical outcomes, and patient safety.
    • Reduction in per capita cost of healthcare, promote quality and value-driven academic outcomes.
    • Improvement of the overall experience of providing care.
    • Improvement of the overall national and population health.

    The objective of the project should not be to start a clinical service or to enhance any existing services, which should be funded by the healthcare institution.

    Funding Protocol

    Funding quantum for each proposal is capped at S$100,000.

    The duration of the project may range from a year to a maximum of 3 years.

    2) Clinical and Systems Innovation Support – Innovation Seed Grant (ISG)

    Introduction

    The grant aims to promote clinical and systems innovation to transform healthcare, and to kick-start early stage innovation projects to translate ideas into working prototypes, gather feedback andtest its techical feasibility for potential scaling in support of SingHealth Duke-NUS AMC and Academic Medicine Innovation Institute (AMII) priorities.

    • Improvement of the overall national and population health.
    • The objective of the project should not be to start a clinical service or to enhance any existing services, which should be funded by the healthcare institution. 

             

    Funding Protocol

    Funding quantum for each proposal is capped at S$25,000.

    The duration of the project may range from a year to a maximum of 18 months.

    Academic Medicine  Innovation Institute (AMII)

    1) AMII Test-Bedding and Adoption Grant

    Introduction

    To support innovation projects, which are to be tested for feasibility in clinical practice within cluster and/or projects which are to be adopted and implemented across clusters, where the innovation is validated for sustainable service implementation and system integration.


    Guiding Principles

    Projects seeking support for testing feasibility and test-bedding of their innovations in clinical practice or to bridge the gaps for adoption and implementation of their innovations across clusters can apply to the *Academic Medicine Innovation Institute (AMII) Test-Bedding and Adoption Grant for Tier-1 funding support of up to $300,000 or Tier-2 funding support of up to $500,000 for maximum period of 15 months (strictly with no extension).

    *For successfully awarded project, please note that a 5% co-institutional funding (based on the total approved amount) is required for the acceptance of the award.

    Tier-1 Funding Support

    Tier-1 funding is aimed at supporting Proof-of-Concept (POC) projects for further translation and development of the innovations, bringing them closer towards potential adoption and implementation within the healthcare system.

    The key considerations of the Tier-1 funding support include: 

    • Project is focused on innovations that are of moderate level of market readiness
    • Project is seeking clinical validation or testing feasibility of clinical workflow
    • Projects for test-bedding, should ideally be supported/shadowed by another public healthcare institution

    Tier-2 Funding Support

    Tier-2 funding is aimed at supporting and driving Proof-of-Value (POV) projects towards the adoption and implementation of their innovations across the clustersHence, to apply for Tier-2 funding support, it is compulsory for the application to include a co-Investigator from an institution of another cluster(s).

    The key considerations of the Tier-2 funding support include:

    • Project is focused on innovations that are of high level of market readiness
    • The resources and processes to implement the new innovation are feasible and sustainable; there should be prior demonstration or validation of the innovation for clinical efficiency and prior safety and regulatory compliance registration/licensing approval obtained (if applicable).
    • Project should have a ready adoption / deployment plan
    • Project must be seeking for support on implementation across clusters.



    Funding Protocol

    Funding quantum for Tier 1 is capped up to S$300,000 and for Tier 2 is S$500,000.

    The duration of the project may range from a year to a maximum of 15 months.
