Its efforts in this direction are supported by world-class facilities. The University's seven faculties and their departments provide the basic infrastructure for research. Founded in 1966, the Graduate School also plays an important role in nurturing original and exploratory research through its postgraduate study programmes. Interdisciplinary research is promoted by 10 major research institutes, each with its own distinctive mission, and smaller research centres/units set up under the auspices of different faculties and departments. The Research Committee is one of the main bodies responsible for distributing research funds to internal units. It is also charged with evaluating and recommending project proposals for external grant applications. Research Funding The University's research infrastructure is directly funded by the University Grants Committee (UGC), while research projects are supported by the Research Grants Council (RGC). For the year 2001-2, CUHK received over HK$112 million from the RGC for research purposes. In addition to securing UGC support for two Areas of Excellence (AoE) projects in 1999, the University managed to obtain during the year HK$25 million from the UGC for a new AoE project on Chinese Medicine Research and Further Development.
