3 1. Introduction 1.1. The MOE Academic Research Fund (AcRF) Tier 2 supports research in Singapore based autonomous universities 1 that have academic significance and a good potential for creating new knowledge that will benefit the larger academic community. The research outcomes should also drive future research, potentially leading to innovations and discoveries AcRF Tier 2 funds research projects on a competitive basis across Singapore-based universities. Each grant 2 proposal submitted should have a total project value (TPV) of between $500,000 and $1 million over a three - year duration. Projects under the Accountancy, Business, Humanities and Social Sciences discipline cluster with TPV exceeding $250,000 are also eligible for funding under AcRF Tier Application and Approval of Project Grant Application 2.1. Principal Investigators (PI) and Co-investigators 3 (co-pi) need to be full-time academic faculties 4 of NUS, NTU and SMU in order to be eligible for AcRF Tier 2 funding. Collaborators 5 have to be fully based in Singapore 6 and the research funded under AcRF Tier 2 has to be conducted in Singapore. 1 Universities include National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Singapore Management University (SMU). 2 Grant means the fund disbursed under the MOE Academic Research Fund Tier 2. 3 Co-investigator means the person or persons named in the Project Grant Approval as a Co-Investigator. 4 The salary of full-time academic faculty is supported by the institution s block budget. 5 Collaborator means the person or persons named in the Project Grant Approval as a Collaborator. 6 The collaborators must reside and work in Singapore. In addition, their research labs must be located in Singapore. 3
4 2.2. The call for AcRF Tier 2 proposals will be held twice a year in Aug and Feb (subject to changes by MOE). Applicants should submit their grant proposals using MOE s prescribed format via MOE s Online Grant Administration System (OLGA). The grant call and closing dates will be communicated to the applicants by the universities Offices of Research (OREs) Each grant will normally be capped at S$1.0 mil over a funding period of 3 years, contingent upon satisfactory progress as assessed during annual reviews, although proposals for larger funding for a three-year period may also be considered if well justified. Co-investigators and collaborators shall not send similar versions or part(s) of the current AcRF proposal to other agencies for funding Submitted proposals have to be verified by the OREs and endorsed by the Director of Research (DOR) before it can be considered by MOE for evaluation. PIs should not communicate with MOE directly. OREs shall inform the PIs of the terms set out in this guideline and ensure compliance by the applicants PIs can check the status of their application via the OLGA system. Approval of Project Grant & Ethics Approval 2.6. PIs will be notified of the results of their applications through the OREs. Appeals for unsuccessful applications will not be entertained Proposals which have been rejected for AcRF Tier 2 funding will not be considered in the following grant calls and ORE should ensure that PIs do not resubmit the same proposal for consideration. 4
5 2.8. Applicants, whose proposals have been invited for resubmission, may do so during the next grant call, but has to provide a point-by-point rebuttal to the expert panel s comments and address any concerns raised Where applicable, the PI has to obtain full Ethics Approval and any other research-related approvals (such as risk assessments) from the relevant authorities before the AcRF Tier 2 research grant (WBS) account is activated by the universities' Office of Finance or Office of Financial Services (collectively known as OFN ). The universities' OREs and OFNs should ascertain that the necessary approvals are in place before grant disbursement The start date of the project is the date on which the WBS account for the AcRF Tier 2 project is activated. The activation of WBS account should be within 4 months of the Letter of Offer 7 to the university In the event that any ethics approval is withdrawn or suspended, affected PIs are to inform MOE, through their ORE, of such decisions immediately. MOE reserves the right to withhold funding if ethics approval is not obtained. 3. Indirect Research Cost & Third Stream Funding 3.1. From FY 2007, MOE will support the indirect research cost (IRC) at a flat rate of 20% 8 of the total qualifying direct costs (less exceptional items) of each newly approved AcRF Tier 2 project. Total qualifying direct costs refer to the costs of items approved for funding in the AcRF Tier 2 grant. Exceptional items include but are not limited to: 7 Letter of Offer means the letter that sets out the grants that have been short-listed by MOE. A formal approval by MOE will be given to those who have fulfilled the statutory compliance. 8 The rate of IRC funding is subject to change at any time without prior notification. 5
6 (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) Equipment costing more than S$100,000; Intellectual property that is needed to carry out the proposed R&D work; Subcontracting of non-research work (e.g., the development of tools for the research); Payment to volunteers and research patients; Infrastructural work 9 that is approved as a direct cost of the research grant; and Research scholarship From FY 2008, MOE will provide a Third Stream Funding (TSF) at a flat rate of 5% of the total qualifying direct costs (less exceptional items) of each newly approved AcRF Tier 2 project. Total qualifying direct costs refer to the costs of items approved for funding in the AcRF Tier 2 grant. Exceptional items include but are not limited to: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) Equipment costing more than S$100,000; Intellectual property that is needed to carry out the proposed R&D work; Subcontracting of non-research work (e.g., the development of tools for the research); Payment to volunteers and research patients; Infrastructural work 9 that is approved as a direct cost of the research grant; and Research scholarship The TSF should be ring-fenced for the AU s Technology Transfer Office to support activities related to academic 9 Infrastructural work is normally not funded under AcRF Tier 2 but, in exceptional cases where it is funded, it will be considered a direct research cost. The exclusion of infrastructural work in the calculation of IRC is to avoid double funding. 6
7 entrepreneurship and commercialisation of research, such as protection of intellectual property, patent applications, industry outreach and matching grants for industry funding Universities should implement a mechanism to track the actual expenditure of each project (including tracking of expenditure via items and categories) and ensure that the amount of IRC and TSF requested complies with MOE s guidelines. 4. Disbursement of Grant 4.1. Universities should in the first instance pay for the expenditure incurred for approved projects and subsequently claim for reimbursement from MOE. MOE will disburse the AcRF Tier 2 grant, including IRC funding, as reimbursement for the expenditure incurred.
