The sgp prize is awarded to a group of individuals or organizations for a specific project that shows how it has contributed to conservation while addressing people’s needs and interests. The winning projects are able to maintain a fine balance between human and environmental imperatives, and are able to support local communities. Four of the winning projects have received support from the Small Grants Programme (SGP). The prize is an acknowledgement for years of hard work and commitment.
The award is a recognition of the authors’ efforts to advance our understanding of Singapore and its history. Their scholarship is rooted in an academic rigour and has made significant contributions to our knowledge of the region. They have also helped shape a deeper appreciation of Singapore in the world. Their books are a valuable resource for students and scholars alike, and are a testament to the importance of research.
A five-member jury panel headed by Kishore Mahbubani, Distinguished Fellow at the NUS Asia Research Institute selected the winner from a short list of six works, which was culled from 26 entries by local and international scholars. The other members of the jury panel include Emeritus Professor John N Miksic of the NUS Department of Asian Studies; Tan Tai Yong, President of the University of Singapore; Prof Peter A Coclanis of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; and economist Dr Lam San Ling.
The winners were honoured at a ceremony held at the National Museum of Singapore on 23 November 2017. They each received a cash prize of S$25,000 and an engraved plaque. Each also has the opportunity to submit a proposal to a funder for further research. The prize money can be spent over a period of time to further develop their research and enhance their career development.
In addition to the cash prize, the winners will be offered the opportunity to collaborate with NUS faculty and staff for further research and publication of their work. They are encouraged to continue their research in the areas of archaeology, anthropology, sociology and business management, and will be given opportunities to teach or work with NUS students.
The prize money of the SGP is to encourage the development of young researchers in the field of Asia. It is intended for promising junior scholars whose research focuses on the region and who have made an important contribution to our knowledge of Asia through their academic achievements, publications and professional activities. The prize is intended to help them build a solid foundation for their future careers and forge stronger links with their peers in the field of Asia.
SGP odds are calculated differently from those of traditional parlay bets. This is because the bets are interconnected, and so the probability of each individual outcome is lower. This means that the payouts on SGP bets are lower too. Despite this, SGP bets are still a popular choice for sports bettors. You can check the SGP odds at the sportsbook’s Market Rules section.
