Midstream Research Programme for Universities (MRP)

Description

Launched in December 2016, MRP aims to encourage universities funded by the University Grants Committee (UGC) to collaborate with leading research institutes worldwide to conduct more theme-based inter-disciplinary and translational research and development (R&D) work in focused technology areas. Two projects: 1. Standalone Projects: The maximum funding support for standalone projects is HK$5 million per project. 2. Collaboration Projects involving multiple disciplines or research institutions: The maximum funding for collaboration projects is HK$10 million per project. A co-applicant can be a different unit of the same university, or a different local/non-local university/research institution.
