    SCIENCE RESEARCH PROGRAMME (SRP) 2024/25

    ORGANISATION
    The Science Research Programme (SRP) was established in 1988 by the Faculty of Science,
    National University of Singapore (NUS) in collaboration with the Gifted Education Branch,
    Ministry of Education. In the current cycle, mentors for the Programme come from the National
    University of Singapore’s Faculty of Science, Faculty of Engineering, and Yong Loo Lin School
    of Medicine; A*STAR’s Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS), Institute of Molecular and Cell
    Biology (IMCB), NanoBio Lab, Singapore Institute for Clinical Sciences (SCIS) and Singapore
    Institute of Food and Biotechnology (SIFB); Defence Science Organisation (DSO) National
    Laboratories; Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA); Nanyang Technological
    University (NTU); Raffles Science Institute (RSI); and Singapore University of Technology and
    Design (SUTD).

    OBJECTIVE
    The main objective of the Programme is to give selected first-year Junior College/Year 5
    Integrated Programme students who have demonstrated interest and aptitude for scientific
    research, the opportunity to be in a mentorship and undertake research projects in a scientific
    and technological community, acquiring critical inquiry and research competencies, and
    desirable dispositions of practitioners in the scientific field.

    PROGRAMME
    The Programme comprises 2 parts:
    • Mentorship Attachment
    • Science Research Congress

    The Mentorship Attachment offers students the opportunity to work on research projects in
    Life/Medical Sciences, Chemical/Physical Sciences, and Engineering under the guidance of
    mentors from NUS and other established research centres. Students work in a real-world
    research environment.

    During the mentorship attachment in May/June, the student spends at least 2 weeks working
    full-time on the research project.

    Thereafter, the student meets with the mentor on a regular basis to complete the research
    work. Every student writes a scientific paper at the end of the Attachment. The papers will be
    published as Proceedings of the 37th Science Research Congress.

    The Science Research Congress which will be held in April 2025 offers students an
    opportunity to communicate their research findings to an audience of mentors and interested
    JC students. On the successful completion of the Attachment, certificates of participation in
    the SRP 2024/25 will be presented to the students at the Congress.

    Since 2006, the student in the SRP may submit his/her research project for assessment as a
    H3 subject. Students offering H3-SRP would have to submit their scientific papers for H3
    assessment in January 2025 and take part in an oral defence in late February 2025.

    ADMISSION CRITERIA
    Interested eligible JC1 H2 and Year 5 IP science students should first apply to participate in the
    Research Methods Module (RMM).

    Shortlisting criteria for participation in RMM


    About 140 students will be shortlisted for participation in the RMM based on:
    - Strong academic performance;
    - Interest demonstrated in scientific research-related activities in Secondary School; and
    - JC or IP School Principal’s recommendation.

    Admission criteria to SRP 2024/25


    The admission criteria include:
    - Successful completion of Research Methods Module (RMM),
    - Attendance at the 36th Science Research Congress, and
    - Acceptance of an approved Research Plan by a mentor.

    RESEARCH METHODS MODULE (RMM)


    The RMM will be accessible online during the last week of March to the first two weeks of April.
    Students are introduced to the library resources available on-campus, basic laboratory safety,
    ethics in research and gain some insights into the current R&D available in participating
    departments/research centres in NUS. Students who intend to proceed to SRP 2024/25 then
    identify a self-selected research topic, perform background literature search and formulate a
    viable research plan.

    On completion of the RMM and attendance at the 36th Research Congress, students interested
    to proceed with the Mentorship Attachment and Science Research Congress may then submit
    a Research Plan to a prospective mentor and apply for admission to SRP 2024/25 in May. On
    acceptance of the Research Plan approved by either a H3-SRP supervisor or an Enrichment-
    SRP mentor, they qualify as participants of the SRP 2024/25.
