The NSFC and the RGC jointly established the CRS and the JRS to promote cooperation between the inland and Hong Kong in valuable and innovative science research projects. The CRS, which was newly introduced in 2022/23, aims to support larger-scale cross-institutional and collaborative research projects to enhance research output and impact. The CRS funds about 10 projects in each year exercise and provides funding support of up to HK$3.6 million per approved project by Hong Kong applicants. The JRS promotes collaboration between researchers in the Mainland and Hong Kong for their complementary strengths and provides funding support of up to HK$1.25 million per approved project by Hong Kong applicants.
