The Innovation & Technology Commission said it is accepting applications for the Innovation & Technology Support Programme (Mid-stream, theme-based) from today until April 29.
The programme invites mid-stream project proposals conducted by universities funded by the University Grants Committee (UGC) under two specific themes, Green Engineering Technologies and Therapeutics for the Treatment of Metabolic Diseases.
The Innovation & Technology Support Programme and the Midstream Research Programme for Universities were previously two separate schemes, the commission said.
The former supports up-stream/mid-stream/down-stream research and development (R&D) projects conducted by local R&D centres, universities and designated local public research institutes, while the latter supported theme-based mid-stream R&D projects conducted by UGC-funded universities. To utilise funding with more flexibility, the Midstream Research Programme for Universities has been subsumed under the Innovation & Technology Support Programme.
Separately, the commission noted the 2022 round of applications for platform and seed projects under the Innovation & Technology Support Programme will tentatively be launched in July.
