Submission of Applications

To minimise unnecessary work and save time, the following two-step approach should be followed:

(a)	applicants should first brief HKRITA on the proposed application by way of a powerpoint presentation which identifies the key features of the project proposal – this will facilitate an initial assessment as to whether the proposal can be supported; and, if so
(b)	a formal application for funding, fine-tuned on the basis of earlier discussions, can then be formally submitted.

Please note that the application proposal for the funding has to be submitted by filling in the new application form. Five hardcopies with two of the original of the application should be stamped by your own Research Institution before submitted to HKRITA. We may require additional hardcopies of your application later.

Deadline for Applications

The deadline for application is on 16 September 2011.
