The Biomedical Research Council (BMRC) and the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), People s Republic of China jointly announce the 10 th call for proposals under the Singapore China Joint Research Programme implemented in August This International Joint Research Programme aims to stimulate information exchange leading to cooperative research to advance science and technology in both countries Under this programme, BMRC, a research council under the Agency for Science, Technology & Research and their counterpart in China will fund the approved project undertaken by the respective sides through their respective budgets Singapore will fund the Singapore component of the project, while China will fund the Chinese component Enquiries concerning this Call should be addressed to the following BMRC officer: Ms Zhang Qianyi, Programme Officer Zhang_qianyi@a-star.edu.sg 2. OBEJCTIVE OF INITIATIVE 2.1. For 2013, the 10 th JRP will fund projects in the area of Metabolism and Obesity Metabolism and Obesity is an area of increased prevalence in both countries and worldwide. The 10th Joint Grant Call aims to support bilateral research collaborations in the field of metabolism and obesity to advance our understanding of the biological mechanisms that regulate metabolism and how they are dysregulated in obesity. The aim is to translate basic scientific knowledge into improved diagnosis, treatment and prevention of Obesity and Metabolism related diseases Through this bilateral collaboration, synergistic expertise across institutions from both countries could be brought together to enhance and deepen the understanding of relevant research in the thematic area of interest. 3. PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS 3.1. Proposals must attempt to fully disclose the research ideas and approaches. It is important that proposals are well crafted and provide substantive description of the research plan for a fair review of the scientific / technical plans and approaches

3 3.2. The proposed project should leverage as much as possible on existing infrastructure and programmes that BMRC is supporting and pre-positioned to launch such an initiative. No major investments in tools and equipment are envisaged. Allocation for manpower, service and share time charges for use of equipment should be factored in proposal submissions A formal contract involving the relevant Singapore-based public institutions and Chinese institutions shall be drawn for each project. 4. GRANT PROPOSAL SELECTION AND EVALUATION CRITERIA 4.1. The grant call seeks to identify proposals that are innovative, demonstrative of a high level of scientific pursuit, clearly identify recipients of research outcomes and applications, challenge paradigms and set international benchmarks Other factors will include level of synergy of the proposed research to the collective set of activities, the abilities of the researchers, their past performance in prior awards, comments of the referees (if required), effectiveness of project management, and appropriateness of the requested budget Specifically, the projects would be assessed based on: Significance Project has to address an important problem or a critical barrier to progress in the field. The success of the project should improve scientific knowledge, technical capability, and/or clinical practice, and aim to change the concepts, methods, technologies, treatments or preventative interventions in metabolism and obesity related research studies Innovation The collaborative project should seek to shift current research or clinical practice paradigms by utilizing novel (or a refinement / improvement of) theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions. Scientific quality and approach Clear overall scientific strategy, methodology, and analyses to accomplish the specific aims must be stated in the application. If potential problems, alternative strategies, and benchmarks for success are available, it has to be presented. Synergistic partnership and track record of the team PIs, collaborators, and other researchers should have the relevant expertise and investigators must have complementary and synergistic capabilities e.g.

4 - Provide access to unique/specialized characteristics of overseas partner country, e.g., specific scientific knowledge or technique availability of key manpower, common interest in seeking a breakthrough in science, training in research manpower, research capability in a specific field, etc. - Tap on specialized capabilities of overseas partner agencies, and through this, create strategic linkages to tap on specialized capabilities in the future. Environment Details of how the scientific environment in which the work is done will contribute to the probability of project success, must be stated.
