The NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine Clinician Scientist Development Unit (CSDU) provides guidance and training to develop the research careers of budding clinician-scientists in NUHS.

Given the shared interest in developing the next generation of research talent, a new partnership is formed between CSDU and N2CR: ‘N2CR-CSDU Career Development Programme’ which is designed to nurture promising young clinician-scientists with an interest in cancer research. This Career Development Programme will cover a number of elements, from finding N2CR mentors for the budding clinician-scientist, to jointly funding research projects, with the eventual intent that the budding clinician-scientist is able to develop his/her research ideas into competitive grants. Seed funding grant will be available to help them to obtain national level awards.

Budding clinician-scientists who are accepted as N2CR-CSDU Career Development Fellows will become associate members of N2CR with access to a range of educational and research talks and activities.
