Public Sector Funding

This grant call is open to all researchers from publicly funded local universities, polytechnics,
non-defence-related public sector agencies and other organs of state. A*STAR Research Institutes and private companies may only be involved as collaborators.

The Council will normally only support projects with a total project value (which excludes in kind contributions, existing equipment and manpower) less than $1M. Typical period of award is three years.
The Council will review proposal submissions once a year.

All proposals would be peer-reviewed. The criteria for award will be the technical merit of the proposal
and track record of the researchers. SERC's Review Panel will review each proposal submission.
The Panel comprises researchers from academia and local public institutes. Note that SERC reserves the right to redirect PSF proposals to other funding schemes where appropriate.

The deadline for all proposal submissions on iGrants is 15 July 2011 (Friday) at 12noon SST. Please refer to the iGrants website (https://igrants.a-star.edu.sg/login.aspx) for further details
on the grant call. All proposals must be submitted through their respective Office of Research/
Principal's or Director's Office/Agency Headquarters or equivalent.
