About the fund

The University of Manchester (UoM) and The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) are pleased to announce the seventh round of their joint research fund to support collaborative research initiatives between the two institutions.

The aim of the fund is to catalyze new collaborations and in the longer term to build global teams with the capability to secure external funding to continue their research.

The Fund is open to applications from all research areas, and we welcome researchers from any discipline to submit proposals. We encourage the involvement of Early Career Researchers (ECRs) either as the principal investigators (PIs) or as members of the project team.

Proposals will be assessed and recommended for selection by a panel composed of staff from both universities.
