The Singapore Millennium Foundation and the National University of Singapore have come together to spark off the SMF-NUS Research Horizons Award. This is a programme which fosters innovation in research and expands the pipeline of ideas that merit further exploration. Co-funded by SMF and NUS, it looks for ideas which are substantially or totally novel, preferably cross-disciplinary, and (if fulfilled) would change current views substantially.
The initiative uses an accelerated review process where no preliminary data are required. The review panel will consist of leading scientists and established entrepreneurs who have a track record of "thinking out of the box".

The Award will provide funding in two stages. The initial support of up to S$100,000 for one year (Phase I) aims to provide a researcher with seed funding to kick-start his/her novel research. Projects that complete Phase I and establish proof-of-concept may be awarded continual funding (Phase II) of up to S$1 million to develop their ideas further. The award can be used for any research-related expenses (EOM, equipment, consumables and conference expenses) subject to current NUS policies and guidelines.
