Research Institutes

University-level Research Institutes/Centres (RICs) undertake research and development in multi-disciplinary areas which cut across more than one Faculty.  Their research funding is largely secured from external sources.  Each University-level RIC is headed by a Director, with a Management Board to provide guidance and assistance to the Director in the development and operation of the RIC.

Currently, NUS host 22 university-level research institutes and centres in various fields ranging from research on Asia, risk management, logistics, engineering sciences, mathematical sciences, biomedical and life sciences, nanotechnology to marine studies.  Besides that, NUS also hosts three Research Centres of Excellence which are the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore, Centre for Quantum Technologies and Mechanobiology Research Centre of Excellence. 

Besides University-level RICs, NUS also has close affiliation with many National Research Centres / Institutes.
