Student Projects

The HHH is pleased to offer its support to students who are interested in undertaking Health Humanities projects.

Call for Proposals

The HHH is seeking proposals for Health Humanities projects. Although the HHH welcomes research proposals, proposed projects need not be research focused. For example, students might be interested to undertake projects that culminate in a piece of music, a painting, or some kind of other showcase. You might also decide to work on designing a plan for a new educational activity in your course that could introduce the Health Humanities in an engaging and innovative way. The proposal should include:

        • What are the expected outcomes of this project?
        • What kind of support does the project require from HHH?
        • How does the project impact understanding the patient experience or delivering healthcare?

Where possible, the HHH also strongly encourages students to form interdisciplinary teams to undertake these Health Humanities projects. You might partner with a friend from another course in the university who has interests in the arts and humanities. Because of this, proposals that include interdisciplinary (i.e., inter-major) teams will be privileged for selection.

You may register your interest to undertake a Health Humanities project here.

The deadline for project proposals is 31 March 2026. 

Quantum of Funding 

The HHH is seeking to fund four project teams, granting up to $500 to each team. 

For administrative purposes, we regret to inform that the project proposer must be a medical student from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine.  

HHH Projects Showcase 

Successful project proposals must have their expected deliverables ready by August 2026. At this time, the HHH intends to run a Student Showcase where the outcomes of these projects will be displayed, performed, or presented. For example, visual art deliverables might be put up for display for free and easy viewing, while musical or theatrical art deliverables would be hosted in rooms. Other formats such as an experiential workshop in the method that has been studied can also be considered.
