THE NURSING INNOVATION, CLINICAL INQUIRY, ENABLING RESEARCH (NiCER) AWARD
The NUH Nursing Department and the Nursing Research Council recognise the importance of financial support in enabling nursing research. As such, a competitive grant amount of $5,000 or more has been established based on justifications for nursing research activities.

- Engage in innovation to enhance nursing professional practice and improve patient outcomes
- Enable nurses to build their capability in conducting research
- Generate new knowledge and contribute to nursing research through clinical inquiry
Successful NiCER Award recipients have the opportunity to enrol in the Nursing Research Fellowship (NRF) programme.
