The Public Policy Research Funding Scheme was launched by the Government in 2005 to promote public policy research in higher education institutions. An amount of $20 million was allocated from the Central Policy Unit (CPU) to the RGC annually for administering the Public Policy Research (PPR) funding scheme from 2005/06 - 2012/13 and Strategic Public Policy Research (SPPR) Funding Scheme from 2008/09 - 2012/13.

The two schemes will be taken over by the CPU in 2013-14. Please click here for the projects funded in the previous rounds of PPR and SPPR exercises.
