The Mainland Research Projects Office (MRPO) is an administrative unit that reports to the Vice-President and Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research) via the Associate Vice-President for Research.  We are here to connect the HKU research community to information on and coordinating submissions to funding opportunities from a broad variety of sources in Mainland China, including grants that allow for usage of funds for research that takes place in Hong Kong.

We also play a key role in overseeing operation and development of the two research institutes in China, which are wholly owned and operated by the University: HKU-Shenzhen Institute of Research and Innovation (HKU-SIRI) , and HKU-Zhejiang Institute of Research and Innovation (HKU-ZIRI) .  These two institutes offer many opportunities for strategic and constructive engagement with China. The MRPO strive to provide administrative support to our researchers in their pursuit of expanding and establishing research collaborations with institutions, industry, business and community in Mainland China.
