30RFP Grant Call
Grant Call
Education Research Funding Programme Office (ERFPO) is pleased to announce the 30th Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Education Research Funding Programme (ERFP). ERFP is open to Institutes of Higher Learning (IHL) with the aim of fostering stronger collaborations with IHL partners. ERFP also encourages research collaborations between IHLs and MOE.
The 30RFP forms part of the 5th tranche of research funding from the Ministry of Education (MOE), Singapore. Over these five years (FY2023-2027), the ERFP continues to build on the work that has been undertaken in previous cycles of education funding by strengthening the foundation (in terms of knowledge, capability, and structure) for education research, development and innovation in existing and emerging research areas. ERFP also continues to encourage efforts to design, develop and implement strategic, evidence-based, collaborative, scientifically rigorous and outcomes-focused innovations in schools and classrooms. The primary aims are to improve classroom practice, enhance student outcomes, and build organisational and teacher capacities.
30RFP
The ERFP 5th tranche will direct funding towards supporting MOE research priorities. The 30th Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Education Research Funding Programme (ERFP) is anticipated to be announced in early September 2023. These research priorities are complemented by a set of research problems articulated by various MOE Divisions.
Problems of policy/practice that fall within GERA areas are shared with researchers in ERFP engagement sessions, and researchers are encouraged to engage MOE to discuss and co-construct research proposals.
The 30RFP engagement session, highlighted the following 2 areas:
Beyond the problems of policy/practice in these two areas, research proposals which address other MOE research priorities and are in line with the scope of ERFP will be supported.
Area 3
Understand and improve pedagogical practices and environmental factors for optimal CCE and socio-emotional development, with particular emphasis on research that will support development of 21CC competencies in these affective areas.
Area 4
Effective design and deployment of blended learning and AI to optimise learning.
Researchers can also share their preliminary ideas or proposals with MOE Corporate Research Office (MOE-CRO) or ERFPO to facilitate further discussion with relevant MOE divisions.
