Grant Quantum<\/h3>\n

In general, the research funds are valued up to $60,000 per research project, including dissemination and utilisation plan. We are able to fund up to five research projects.<\/p>\n

Each research project should not take more than three years to complete. However, the dissemination plan, as well as the utilisation plan can continue beyond the research cycle if necessary.<\/p>\n

The Selection Committee will review the proposed budget required by each project. The quantum may go higher or lower, if the committee finds the proposed budget to be justifiable. The actual number of research projects awarded will depend on the quality of the submissions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Who Can Apply?<\/h3>\n

From the agency, there should only be one principal investigator (PI), as well as up to one co-investigator (Co-I). The PI (practitioner) and Co-I (if any) should be trained in Social Work and with a Social Work qualification.<\/p>\n

This will be an institutional call, whereby the management will be required to support the practitioners through the research projects. The director of the organization will be required to endorse and sign the last portion of the Application Form (page 11).<\/p>\n

Each research project must be paired with an academic PI from NUS Department of Social Work. A suitable academic PI will be recommended to and agreed with the applicant.<\/p>\n
