Real Talk, Real Support - Navigating the Grants Landscape

Navigating the grants landscape – lessons from a young clinician researcher’s journey.

The Journey of an aspiring clinician researcher invariably includes two interdependent strands of publications and grants. Research grants provide resources to conduct research studies, to yield practice-changing results that in turn, lead to further grants. Grants create opportunities for collaboration, professional development and the building of research communities. There are many types of research grants available in the SingHealth Duke-NUS ecosystem that can help young clinician researchers. Come join us and hear from Assistant Professor Grace Yang, from ONCO ACP, a National Medical Research Council (NMRC) Transition Award (TA) Awardee, as she shares her experience of navigating the research grants landscape and lessons learnt along her journey.

At this Fireside Chat, you will also hear from Dr John, Coe Director of SingHealth Office of Research on an overview of the grants landscape of the AMC, and Professor Roger Daniel Vaughan, Director of Centre for Clinician Scientist Development (CCSD) on the various CCSD programmes which will help in a clinician researcher’s journey.

Please join us for this Fireside Chat, with the Young Clinician Researchers Peer Support Group Leads, to get all your answers on how to secure your next grant with confidence!
