The Faculty has reached another significant milestone this year, with 25 projects successfully funded under the General Research Fund (GRF) and the Early Career Scheme (ECS). This record-breaking achievement reflects the Faculty’s continued commitment to research excellence and innovation.
The 21 GRF-funded projects span across our Departments, with ten from CBS, five from CHC, and six from ENGL. In addition, four ECS projects have been awarded—three from CBS and one from CHC.
Under the Research Grants Council, GRF aims to supplement universities’ research support to researchers who have achieved or have the potential to achieve excellence. The ECS, introduced in 2012/13, is intended to nurture junior academics and prepare them for a career in education and research. The assessment criteria include the scientific and scholarly merit of the proposal, originality, potential for social, cultural or economic application, and more.
FH members have received a total of $16M in GRF and ECS this year, along with $4M funded through the Collaborative Research Fund (CRF) also under RGC.
