Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) is a major research enterprise established by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in partnership with the National Research Foundation of Singapore (NRF) in 2007. SMART is the first entity in the Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise (CREATE) developed by NRF.

SMART serves as an intellectual hub for research interactions between MIT and Singapore.  Cutting-edge research projects in areas of interest to both Singapore and MIT are undertaken at SMART. 

SMART comprises an Innovation Centre and five Interdisciplinary Research Groups (IRGs): 
- Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR): aims to solve the growing threat of resistance to antimicrobial drugs. 
- Critical Analytics for Manufacturing Personalized-Medicine (CAMP): focuses on better ways to produce living cells as medicine delivered to humans.
- Disruptive Technology for Agricultural Precision (DiSTAP): aims to revolutionize food production to meet the demands of a growing population in an increasingly resource-constrained world.
- Future Urban Mobility (FM): aims to develop, in and beyond Singapore, a new paradigm for the planning, design, and operation of future urban passenger and freight transportation systems that enhance sustainability and societal well-being. 
- Low Energy Electronic Systems (LEES): aims to identify new integrated circuit technologies that become the new added value for reduced energy per function, lower power consumption and higher performance in our electronics infrastructure.

Headed by senior MIT faculty members, these IRGs comprise over a thousand MIT and Singapore researchers which include faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. 

SMART research is funded by the National Research Foundation Singapore under the CREATE programme.
