Singapore Translational Research (STaR) Investigator Award
The STaR Investigator Award is a prestigious award offered by the Singapore Ministry of Health’s National Medical Research Council (NMRC) to recognise and support outstanding investigators in translational and clinical research.
STaR Investigators will be funded to start new research programmes in Singapore in biomedical research. STaR Investigators may, if they wish, spend up to 20% of their time engaging in direct patient care.
Successful candidates will receive 3- to 5-year support which is modelled after the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigatorship Award. Awards include (I) Annual Research Support, (II) Annual Salary Support and (III) Start-up Costs. The awards are renewable for further terms upon external review. STaR Investigators must commit to a full time appointment in Singapore and their proposed research must be conducted in Singapore.
