Grant Monitoring Period

GP Clinics will be monitored to determine if they meet the disbursement criteria listed for the Packages above. In the application, GP Clinics must indicate their desired “Project Start Date” for grant monitoring, and “Project End Date” will be 31st March 2025.

As monitoring is performed monthly, the Project Start Date must fall on the first day of the first monitoring month. The Project Start Date cannot be later than 1st October 2024.

GP Clinics should factor in the time required to adopt or upgrade their CMS, to ensure that they are able to meet the disbursement criteria during the chosen grant monitoring period.  

During the monitoring period, Synapxe will monitor the contribution of relevant data from the GP Clinics’ CMS to NEHR and the Healthier SG systems (as appropriate), and report the result to AIC. AIC will notify GP Clinics and make the one-time payment after the disbursement criteria for the approved package is met. GP Clinics will not need to do any active monitoring or submit reports.

How to apply

GP Clinics may submit an application from 1st July 2023 to 30th June 2024 via the OurSG Grants (OSG) Portal. Please refer to this step-by-step guide for more details.

You are encouraged to use this checker to gauge the estimated additional timeframe to factor in for the “Project Start Date” for your clinic’s grant monitoring period during your application submission.
