Rehabilitation Research Grant 4
The Rehabilitation Research Institute of Singapore (RRIS) was established in April 2016 as a joint research institute by Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and National Healthcare Group (NHG). Located in the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine Clinical Sciences Building at the heart of the Novena Health City, RRIS serves as a focal point for scientists, engineers and clinicians to come together to discover new knowledge and to co-create solutions.
The Ability Data project is a database of normative and patient kinetic & kinematic movement data. RRIS is building the first Asian-centric cloud-based platform to support collaborative research. RRIS invites potential applicants to participate in our RRG4 grant call to explore and contribute to the Ability Data related research.
Eligibility Criteria
RRG4 promotes the collaborative multi-disciplinary research work and each application must be submitted by a Clinical Lead Principal Investigator (PI) and a Technical Lead Principal Investigator (PI). Both Clinical and Technical Lead PIs must be from NTU or NHG or A*STAR. Other research team members can include co-investigators/collaborators from local/overseas institutions or private companies. In addition, composition of team members (Co-I and above) for each application should not be all from the same institution.

- Psychosocial Rehabilitation and Quality of Life (QoL)
- Precision Rehabilitation
- Connected Rehabilitation
- Advanced Technology for Rehabilitation Continuum of Care
The grant call focusing on four research tracks is to promote collaborative multi-disciplinary rehabilitation research in each track, as well as to generate new knowledge to improve rehabilitation clinical practices for the local and/or Asian population.
In order to promote academic excellence for student training in the area of rehabilitation research, RRG3 included an NTU Research Student Scholarship (RSS) component for future PHD student training.
After a rigorous selection by the Rehabilitation Selection Panel, 11 applications were selected from four research tracks for funding solely based on scientific merits.
RRIS would like to Congratulates again to the following successful grant awardees from Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), the Institute of Mental Health (IMH), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR).
