What are the funding opportunities for researchers in local self-financing degree-awarding institutions?

The Research Grants Council (RGC) has launched three competitive research funding schemes for the local self-financing degree sector, namely the Faculty Development Scheme, the Inter-Institutional Development Scheme and the Institutional Development Scheme (IDS). The IDS is branched out into the Research Infrastructure Grant and the Collaborative Research Grant. Details of these funding schemes are available at http://www.ugc.edu.hk/eng/rgc/funding_opport.html.
