Eligibility for University Researcher Awards

• The awards are made for Quality and Impact of research, and not for quantity. Only research carried out while under the employment of the NUS or University-level RI/Cs will be considered.
  
  
• The successful researcher must have consistently achieved research excellence over a period of time and should be recognised by the relevant academic community as having achieved significant breakthroughs or outstanding accomplishments.
  
  
• In principle, just one piece of research work of impact is sufficient for a nomination. Nomination of research collaboration undertaken between staff of Faculties/Schools and NUS-Affiliated RI/Cs will also be considered. In cases of collaborative work, the Nobel Prize rule will apply where the nominated work shall involve at most 3 team members, and the Prize will be shared equally.
  
  
• A recipient of either Outstanding Researcher Award or Young Researcher Award is not eligible within the same category for a period of 3 years. Any new nominations within the same category will be judged solely on research completed after the previous award.
