Population-based, Unified, Learning System for Enhanced and Sustainable Health (PULSES) Grant Call - Bridging Grant Call

SingHealth Regional Health System

Objective

The PULSES Grant and Fellowship Programs are generously funded through a Centre Grant awarded by National Medical Research Council (NMRC) to provide support in building up core population health research¹ capabilities in SingHealth and foster multidisciplinary collaborations to improve and address the unmet needs of our population.

¹An interdisciplinary field focusing on the health outcomes of groups of individuals. It studies personal, behavioural and environmental determinants of health, health outcomes, and policies and interventions that link these in efforts to prevent ill-health, improve the health of populations and ameliorate health disparities. (Adapted from Kindig D, Stoddart G. Am J Public Health. 2003 March; 93(3): 380–383).

This grant is intended for investigators to bridge the funding gap until new grants are obtained (e.g. to sustain key research manpower from grants which have already ceased).
