Seedcorn Funding

​The Centre offers seedcorn funding which supports collaborative research projects between NHG Polyclinics (NHGP) and LKCMedicine researchers. Funding is for feasibility and pilot studies, whose preliminary data can build a strong case for subsequent research applications to external funding bodies. Awards will be between SGD$20,000 - 60,000 for projects up to 18 months in duration.
