Dr. Elvin Ong was awarded the Social Science and Humanities Research Fellowship (SSHRF) by the Singapore Social Science Research Council (SSRC). The SSHRF was established by the SSRC as part of its efforts to nurture local talents and strengthen the social science and humanities research ecosystem in Singapore. The 5-year grant will fund research for Dr. Ong’s next book project tentatively titled, “After Victory: Governance Outcomes, Political Stability, and Institutional Reforms in East and Southeast Asia.”

Assistant Professor Ong is the first NUS Political Science Department faculty to be awarded the SSHRF.
