The Seed Fund for Basic Research for New Staff aims to assist in the initial development of a research project to enable it to gain a competitive edge to secure funding later on from external sources, and all eligible staff can apply for maximum funding of HK$150,000 (with possible matching funds from the Faculty/Department). Applications may be made before assuming duty or within the first six months of service. Click here for more details.
