Sustainable Knowledge Transfer Project Fund (S-KPF)
PROJECT LEADER
The Project Leader (i.e., a qualified CUHK “Principal Investigator”) must be the primary applicant of an S-KPF application.
The Project Leader must be a full-time staff member on professoriate or research academic ranks of CUHK. Other teaching staff will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
TEAM MEMBER
A visiting professor or a full-time research staff member who is not on research academic ranks (e.g., Research Associate, Research Assistant, Postdoc Fellow) can serve only as a member but not a Project Leader.
Non-CUHK members can also participate as members.
