FAQ's

Q: What is the difference between an EMR project and a High-Risk High-Reward (HRHR) project?
A:
 Both EMR and HRHR projects are expected to address important and challenging issues resulting in the advancement of scientific knowledge. However, in HRHR projects, the risks associated to address the proposed scientific issues are high, and if it is successfully solved, should result in a high reward. This could be in the form of new hypothesis, methodology, process or products, and may have the potential to open up new frontiers in S&T. In other words, proposals resulting in 'incremental knowledge' will not be supported under the HRHR scheme.

Q: Does the Board has any priority areas for funding HRHR projects?
A:
 No. The Board funds all areas of Science and Engineering without discriminating any discipline. The proposal will be funded if it is conceptually new, risky and challenge the existing hypothesis and approaches. If successful, it is expected to open up new frontiers in science and technology.
