Congratulations to Nagoor Mohideen Fatimah and Tang Chyi Yueh from the Department of Social Work, who were awarded the Family Research Fund (FRF) by the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) for their research entitled “Impact of senior volunteering on volunteers and their family members in Singaporean context”. The project aims to identify benefits and strains as a result of senior volunteering, as perceived by the senior volunteers and their family members. It studies the relationship between the socio-demographics and individual capacity characteristics of the senior volunteers and the perceived benefits and strains from volunteering, and the association of the benefits and strains from senior volunteering with family functioning.

To encourage interest in family research and foster quality research on family trends and issues in Singapore, the FRF is open to all undergraduates (Honours/equivalent), postgraduates and academic researchers at recognised universities (NUS, NTU, SMU and UniSIM) and affiliated research centres in Singapore.
