Guidelines for Completing Individual Research Grant (IRG) Application Form

Please read the following carefully before completing this form. You may wish to use the attached checklist to help you verify on the completeness of your application before submission. Applications with insufficient supporting documents and information will have a lower priority over the others.

How to complete the application form

Follow the instructions closely in every section.

Complete all sections in the application. Indicate “NA” where a particular section is not applicable. Type your name and the amount of grant applied for in the space provided in every page of the application form including additional pages, (if any) for identification purposes.

Use Arial font size 10 for all text. Softcopy to be submitted as 1 file including all the pictures, tables, charts and various attachments either in Word DOC format.

Adhere to the number of characters/space provided in each field and the number of pages where specified. Reformat softcopy such that all blank or irrelevant pages are removed.

Only one Principal Investigator (PI) is allowed per application. Each PI is only allowed to put in one application per exercise. There is no limit to the number of Co-PIs or collaborators. The PI shall be the point of contact for NMRC, with the stated Department and Institution as the hosting institution. Applicants with multiple appointments at different institutions are to select only one hosting institution for the application.

The period of support should not be more than 3 years, and the grant amount is capped at $1million.

Refer and adhere to the list of non-fundable items stated in the NMRC Admin Guidelines (available on the website and the Budget Section of the Application form). Provide a breakdown for all categories with justifications and supporting documents such as quotations for all purchases. Tally and provide both a subtotal amount for each category and the total amount budgeted.

Include CVs of the PI, Co-PI(s) and all collaborator(s) with the email addresses and contact information clearly stated.

PI’s original signature is required. The Co-PIs/collaborators’ signatures can be photostated/faxed copies.

Additional documents required for Re-submission Applications

Append reviewers’ reports of the previous unsuccessful application, together with the subcommittee’s comments.

On a separate document, itemize how the revised proposal (ie. re-submission application) has addressed past reviewers’/subcommitte’s comments, and

Highlight new features or merits of the revised proposal.

Additional document required for Renewal Applications

A progress/final report of the existing project to indicate the progress and outputs of the project in the prescribed NMRC reporting format.

Where to submit your application

Submit 1 soft copy, 1 hardcopy (with original signatures) and 13 photocopies (print on double side) through your institution’s research coordinator.

For applicants from institution without research coordinator, please submit to :
