Since 2013, the Research Grant Council (RGC) has launched the Competitive Research Funding Schemes, including three funding schemes, namely the Institutional Development Scheme (IDS), the Inter-Institutional Development Scheme (IIDS) and the Faculty Development Scheme (FDS), to develop the research capacity of both the institutions and that of faculty members, and to provide funding for research activities performed in the local self-financing degree sector.

To facilitate staff’s application, the Research Committee and the Staff Development Committee jointly organised an experience sharing session entitled “Experience Sharing on Writing a Successful RGC Research Grant Proposal” on 2 Nov 2017.
