• Sun Chieh Yeh Heart Foundation Research Grant
  The Institute of Cardiovascular Science and Medicine (ICSM), University of Hong Kong, has received a generous donation from the Sun Chieh Yeh Heart Foundation to foster research in cardiovascular diseases. ICSM is now calling for applications for small grants for research projects relevant to cardiovascular diseases from post-doctoral fellows or above. Applications from postgraduate and undergraduate students are welcome but the supervisor must be a co-applicant. Supported projects can be in basic science or in clinical medicine.
  The maximum funding for each project is HK$ 100,000, but the amount awarded will depend on the quality of the proposal and the number of excellent applications received. The duration of the project is normally one year; extension to a maximum of two years can be granted subject to a satisfactory interim report. Successful applicants should submit a written report within 3 months upon completion of the funded project.
  To encourage researchers new to cardiovascular research, track record and preliminary data are not pre-requisites. The applications will be evaluated in terms of scientific merit, feasibility and value.
  This grant is administered by the Institute of Cardiovascular Science and Medicine. The completed application form together with other supplementary documents should be submitted to icsm [at] hku [dot] hk on or before 31st July 2019.
