FH Achieves New Heights with 25 GRF and ECS Projects Funded, Securing Over HK$16M in Funding

2 Jul 2025


The Faculty has reached another significant milestone this year, with 25 projects successfully funded under the General Research Fund (GRF) and 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 were 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 to 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.
