The FPH-SSR-APLAR Fellowship Grant

This Fellowship Grant enables young rheumatologists from the Asia Pacific region, with preference given to those from developing countries, to be exposed to the practice of rheumatology in Singapore. The aim of the Fellowship is to encourage the sharing of best practices, the development of new skills, and future international collaboration. In addition to training, this Fellowship provides incentive for the candidates to conduct a research project and to publish their work.

SSR will provide the following support:

  • SGD$20,000 per fellow for a six-month fellowship per year (the amount is flexible and will be proportionate to the duration of the period of fellowship training)
  • Up to SGD$4,000 support to present research findings at a rheumatology conference
  • Up to SGD$1,000 for publication costs for an original article in a Medline-listed journal arising from the fellowship training

The FPH Education Award

The Education Award seeks to recognise and support Singapore trainee rheumatologists for research work presented or accepted at regional or international conferences. The total sum that will be disbursed is SGD $3,000 per calendar year with a maximum of 3 awardees per year.
