The Singapore Economic Development Board's (EDB, a sponsor of Next Wave Singapore) Postgraduate Manpower Programme (Research), a joint Singapore-based industry-university programme, sponsors high-calibre students from good universities to perform their master's and Ph.D. research at NTU in disciplines or research areas relevant to the sponsoring company's needs.

Open to local and international applicants, candidates should have an undergraduate degree from NTU, NUS, or any top overseas university and must meet NTU's admissions criteria for the respective research degree programme and its Research Scholarship standard. The proposed area of research or study should match the sponsoring company's requirements.

The award covers a 2-year sponsorship for master degree studies or a 3-year sponsorship to pursue a Ph.D. Sponsorship includes a waiver of research fees by NTU, a monthly stipend of S$500--on top of the S$1400 to S$1500 provided by NTU's Research Scholarship--a book and equipment allowance of S$600 per annum, and a one-time settling-in allowance of S$500 for international students relocating to Singapore.
