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 application details, please refer to Vice-President and Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Teaching and Learning)’s invitation circular (document 51/226), which may
be accessed via <https://intraweb.hku.hk/reserved_2/cdqa/doc/TDGS/TDG_2026/TDG_List_A.pdf>:

TDG Resources Hub
To facilitate sharing of information and deliverables of TDG and Common Core TDG projects, TALIC has developed a TDG Resources Hub for colleagues to retrieve information of ongoing and completed projects. The Resources Hub could be accessed via https://tdg.hku.hk/hub/
Progress and Final Reports
The project investigators shall submit an annual progress report (where applicable)*, and a final report upon project completion. The report templates are available below:

Completed forms should be sent to the TDG administrative team of CDQA (tdgs@hku.hk)
* An annual progress report is required for projects lasting for 18 months or more.
