Commissioned Projects

RFCID supports studies commissioned by the FHB as well as those initiated by individual investigators to address health problems, fill scientific gaps and respond to public threats or needs. The cost ceiling is determined by the Research Council based on the size and nature of the proposed research activities.

Four commissioned projects have been approved:

  1. The University of Hong Kong: $30 million approved to undertake a portfolio of basic laboratory, epidemiology and public health research in emerging infectious diseases, and to upgrade its Bio-safety Level 3 laboratory with enhancement for animal experimentation.

  2. The Chinese University of Hong Kong: $25 million approved to undertake a portfolio of clinical trial and public health research in emerging infectious diseases.

  3. The Hospital Authority Consortium (HA together with the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and the University of Hong Kong): $8.2 million approved to undertake a portfolio of research on nosocomial infection and long-term follow-up of SARS patients.

  4. The Centre for Health Protection: Funding details are being finalised. $30 million has been earmarked over a 5-year period to conduct a portfolio of studies on cost-effectiveness of primary prevention of infections; surveillance, epidemiology and public health control of infections with a regional (cross-border) significance; and prevention of spread of healthcare-associated infections in community settings
