Teaching Development Grant (TDG)

Applications for Teaching Development Grant (TDG) 2025

Applications are now invited for funding under the Teaching Development Grant (TDG). TDGs are intended to support projects and activities that will have an impact on the strategic development and promotion of Teaching and Learning (T&L). To ensure alignment of TDG proposals with T&L strategies at Faculty level, Faculties are required to provide matching fund equivalent to one-sixth of the total project cost for a successful TDG proposal submitted by their Faculty members. For priority areas and other details, please refer to Vice-President and Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Teaching and Learning)’s invitation circular (document 84/225), which may
be accessed via https://intraweb.hku.hk/reserved_2/cdqa/doc/TDGS/TDG_2025/TDG_List_A.pdf

The application deadline for the April 2025 round is Thursday, April 3, 2025. All applications should be submitted online via the TDG system (https://tdg.hku.hk), which is also accessible through HKU Portal > Manager Self Service > Teaching Development Grant (TDG) > TDG System. 

A video guide is available here.
