With the increase in expectations for translational research and commercialisation, NUHS recognizes the need for stronger collaboration between clinical and basic researchers on campus as well as industry partners.
NUHS Bench to Bedside (B2B) and Bench to Bedside to Product (BBP) grant is a new internal grant with aims to put our researchers in a better position to apply for external competitive grants.

Deliverables
• B2B: Basic Science and clinical PIs must show complementarity of the basic science and clinical components of the research project.
• BBP: To show complementarity towards commercialisation
• It is expected that the results generated by the research will allow PIs to apply for more substantial research grant funding at the National level.
• PIs must ensure a utilization rate of 95% is reached by end of each financial year.
• A progress report will have to be submitted at the end of each year with a final report to be submitted within 1 month from completion date.
