Research Finance Workshop (Module 2.3) - In-Person Session in Singapore - 22 May 2025

ARMS is pleased to be offering our Research Finance module in person in Singapore this coming May.

The objective of this module is to provide Researchers and Research Management Professionals (including Administrators) with an understanding of Research Finance as it relates to research project financial management and management of internal research allocations, to support the achievement of quality research outcomes and the objectives of the Research Organisation.

The module will go into detail in regard to common research finance topics however the intent is to also provide the participant with an understanding of the environment that shapes and influences research finance.

Whilst this module uses the University environment as an example, there are many components which apply equally to all research institutions such as CRCs, Hospitals, Research Institutes, and other Research Organisations.

It is not the purpose of this module to provide training in pre-award funding (including the identification of funding opportunities and preparing funding applications), post-award processes (including finance reporting to funding bodies) nor the National Research and Innovation System (including extensive information on how different countries fund research). Training on these topics can be found through the ARMS “pre-award accreditation module,” “post-award processes accreditation module” and the “National Research and Innovation System in Singapore.”

This module does not cover research training finance as it relates to the investment in and management of Higher Degree by Research programs and projects. 

While this module provides a high-level overview of costing and pricing a research project, more comprehensive training can be obtained by completing the ARMS Costing and Pricing Master Class.
