Prof Qi Dou received the National Natural Science Foundation of China’s (NSFC) Young Scientists Fund 2022. This year, it is the first time that the NSFC Young Scientists Fund is open to researchers in Hong Kong. Thirteen professors from CUHK have been recognised by the NSFC Young Scientists Fund 2022. Each of the researchers will receive funding of RMB 300,000 to support their scientific research projects for three years.
The NSFC Young Scientists Fund started accepting applications from Hong Kong researchers in 2022. It supports young scholars as they carry out basic research in areas of their choice, enhancing their ability to conduct innovative projects independently and fostering the promotion of young scientists.
