Teaching Development Grant (TDG)

Applications for Teaching Development Grant (TDG) 2024

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 50/324 amended), which may access via https://intraweb.hku.hk/reserved_2/cdqa/doc/TDGS/TDG_2024/TDG_List_A_amended.pdf

All applications should be submitted online via the TDG system, which is accessible through HKU Portal > Manager Self Service > Teaching Development Grant (TDG) > TDG System or through the link below:
