ACSI Inaugural Research Bootcamp Session

In the afternoon of 12 September 2024, mentees and mentors alike gathered for our first session of the inaugural ACSI Research Bootcamp. The Bootcamp is part of ACSI’s efforts to support budding clinician scientists and innovators, by providing a valuable opportunity for aspiring junior CSs/CIs to receive targeted and individualised feedback for their research ideas and grant proposals.

This session was led by ACSI Co-Leads A/Prof Rupesh Agrawal and Asst Prof Marie Loh, and attended by ACSI Mentors such as Prof David Lye, A/Prof Lim Su Chi, A/Prof Sunny Wong, and Dr Shum Cheuk Fan.

As part of the Bootcamp, each of the four mentees presented in turn an overview of their research ideas for their upcoming grant applications. After each sharing, our ACSI Mentors gave their feedback, comments, and insights – on aspects such as methodology, research hypothesis and questions, and more.

We thank our mentors for their support in making this Bootcamp successful and for their invaluable contributions to the mentee’s grant application journey!

Looking to enhance your grant applications or research ideas? Keep a look out for subsequent runs of ACSI Bootcamp and IGRP, both happening twice yearly, designed in preparation for the NMRC January/July Grant Calls!
