MOE Education Research Funding Programme (ERFP)
The Education Research Funding Programme (ERFP) is a research fund supported by the Ministry of Education (MOE), Singapore, and administered by the Education Research Funding Programme Office (ERFPO) for all eligible education researchers in Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs).
Application Process
Every year, ERFPO announces its Request for Proposals (RFP) to researchers from IHL. Applicants will go through two stages during their application:
- Internal review by the SUSS Evaluation Panel
- External reviews and recommendation/approval by the ERFPO
Applicants may refer to the Grant Call Documents in the 35RFP Grant Call page for more details.
