Dear Dr Suresh V. Garimella,

I am writing on behalf of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) in Singapore and would like to share with you a prestigious and generous award that A*STAR is offering to recognize young scientific talent and to develop them into the next generation of global leaders in science – the A*STAR Investigatorship.

The call for the A*STAR Investigatorship will be open on 15th  May 2014 and will close on the 14th of August 2014.

I have attached the publicity mailer for the A*STAR Investigatorship for you to share and disseminate within your institution to encourage promising scientists and engineers to apply.

Please feel free to contact Dr Ariel Tan (Ariel_Tan@a-star.edu.sg, or at +65 6826 6404) if you require more information.

We look forward to your kind support. Thank you. Yours Sincerely,
