In the Collaborative Research Fund (CRF) 2023/24 exercise of the Research Grant Committee (RGC), nine PolyU projects were granted a combined HK$55.491 million from the Collaborative Research Project Grant (CRPG), placing PolyU first among Hong Kong universities in the amount of CRPG funding awarded; and two PolyU projects were granted a total of HK$9.435 million from the Young Collaborative Research Grant (YCRG). Among them, eight CRPG projects and both YCRG projects are led by PAIR researchers.
