Supporting UG Research
Supporting Undergraduate Research through Teaching Development and Language Enhancement Grant, 2019-22
With the special funding supports from the University for developing and strengthening the research and inquiry-based learning components in undergraduate research, the Faculty invited students who enrolled in eligible courses with extensive research elements to take part in the captioned campaign in 2020-21 and 2021-22.
In order to complete this campaign, participants were required to enroll in an eligible course in an academic year (or a semester) and conduct a research activity no less than 6 weeks under supervision of the relevant teachers that would signigicantly enrich their course experience. Eligible students were required to submit an applicaiton with a budget plan of the proposed research activity, with the relevant Programme's endorsement, for the Faculty's pre-approval for joining the campaign. When they passed the course concerned in the relevant semester/academic year, they were invited to (1) submit a self-evaluation report, (2) present their research finding, and (3) apply for reimbursement of the pre-approved expenses.
The maximum amount of subsidy available depended on the location of the research activity. *Given the impact of COVID-19 on overseas travel, the University decided to expand the campaign to cover the research activities to be undertaken locally in July 2020.
