IHH Healthcare’s $3.9m grant to boost clinical research, innovation

The fund will be disbursed over five years.

IHH Healthcare has launched a $3.9m (S$5m) Research Grant & Innovation Sandbox programme to accelerate clinical research across its network.

The fund will be disbursed over five years, with the first grant call held in March this year, focusing on oncology and chronic diseases.

The group’s Grant Governance Committee shortlisted seven projects and eight innovation sandbox applications from a total of 55 submissions.

Under the Clinical Research track, each project is expected to be completed within one year, or up to two years for more complex cases.

Projects under the Innovation Sandbox track will focus on ideas with potential for scalability, cost savings, improved patient outcomes, and enhanced patient experience across IHH markets.
