About Hong Kong Research Grants Council
The Hong Kong Research Grants Council is the principal body responsible for funding academic research at the universities of Hong Kong. It advises on the needs of the higher education sector in research and allocates funding to support research excellence across disciplines.
The council funds research across the sciences, engineering, medicine, business, the humanities, and the social sciences through a range of grant and fellowship schemes. Its programs support investigator-driven projects, collaborative research, and the development of early-career and postgraduate researchers.
Funding is awarded through competitive peer review, with eligibility generally tied to academics at eligible Hong Kong institutions. Researchers can find current Research Grants Council opportunities and deadlines on Atom.
