The Research Grants Council
The Research Grants Council (RGC) is a non-statutory advisory council operating under the aegis of the University Grants Committee (UGC).
It was formally established on 1 January 1991 to replace the Research Sub-Committee of the UGC.
The RGC’s members are appointed by the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and comprise non-local academics, local academics and local lay persons. All members are appointed on an ad personam basis.
The RGC works in close partnership with the UGC and advises and reports to the Government through the UGC on matters within its purview.
