The Major Research Funding (MRF) scheme provides financial assistance to support significant research activities. It assists staff members in the undertaking and realisation of high-level academic-theoretical or practice-based research activities based on clearly articulated research questions, and that lead to a publishable output in a refereed journal or a book/book chapter with a recognised academic publisher.

- Natalia Grincheva (F/FAMCI): Mapping and Measuring the Global Impacts of Hallyu
- Adeline Kueh (F/FAMCI) & Hazel Lim-Schlegel (F/FAMCI): Craft in Singapore (A study)
