The RGC recently announced the funding results of the Collaborative Research Fund (CRF) including Collaborative Research Project Grant (CRPG), Collaborative Research Equipment Grant (CREG) and Young Collaborative Research Grant (YCRG) in 2025/26 exercise. We are proud to announce that Prof. Ling Jin, Assistant Professor of CEE, has been awarded the Collaborative Research Equipment Grant 2025/26 for his project. The project details are as follows:
Proposal Ref. No.: C5081 – 25EF
Name of PC: Prof. Ling Jin
Proposal Title: Advanced Single-Particle Mass Spectrometer to Uncover Hidden Aerosol Complexity Impacting Health and Climate
Amount Awarded: $3,400,000
The project aims to develop a single-particle mass spectrometry platform to precisely show aerosol mixing states and assess their impacts on health, toxicity, and climate, improving predictions for policymaking.
In 2025/26 CRF Exercise, the RGC received a total of 31 preliminary CREG proposals, of which 8 were ultimately supported. The CRF supports multi-investigator, multi-disciplinary projects to encourage more researchers to engage in creative and high-quality cross-disciplinary projects.
Congratulations again to Prof. Jin, we believe this funding will enable him to engage in cross-disciplinary research and collaborate with multiple scholars to produce innovative and impactful outcomes.
