About Croucher Senior Medical Research Fellowships

The Croucher Senior Medical Research Fellowships scheme was first introduced in 1997. It is awarded to outstanding scientists employed on clinical teachers’ terms in medicine and dentistry. The awards are judged by a group of leading international scientists invited to provide confidential reviews of candidates nominated in a competitive exercise. The value of each award includes a HK$2 million research grant to the award winner. Separate funds are awarded to the universities of the fellowship recipients, enabling the university to recruit replacement teacher/clinical medical staff to take over the award winner’s duties for a twelve-month period. The arrangement enables the awardees to devote more time and effort to research work. For more details: https://scholars.croucher.org.hk/award_types/smrf.
