Abstract:
The presenter attempts to share his views and experience on how to be more successful in applying for research grants from major public funding agencies. With illustrative examples from North America and Hong Kong, he will share some of the ‘secrets’ and ‘tips’ to succeed, as well as some ‘behind-the-scene’ stories of panel members when discussing and deciding whether particular applications should be granted. Also, the presentation will include a real-world case, where participants are expected to review, discuss, and engage. It is hoped that the presentation will help faculties, researchers, and students to become more successful in securing the resources necessary for quality research.
