2 My CRF projects experience Project Title Project Code Role Start Date End Date Green Slope Engineering: Bioengineered, Live Cover Systems for Man-made Fill Slopes and Landfill Capillary Barriers in Hong Kong Green Slope Engineering in Hong Kong Land Development by Environmental Vacuum Preloading Technique HKUST6/CRF/12R - 4 universities PI* June 2013 June 2016 HKUST9/CRF/09 Central Allocation Vote (CA03/04.EG02) 3 universities Central Allocation Vote (CA99/00.EG01) 2 universities CRC Pilot Scheme (CRC96/99.EG04) 1 university PI* June 2010 Sept., 2004 June 2013 Aug., 2007 co-I* (PI- HKU) Behaviour of Loose Fill Slopes & Its Stabilisation with Soil Nails co-I# (PI- HKUST) Feb., 2000 Jan., 2003 Construction Research Centre - Phase 1 : Geotechnical Centrifuge Modelling : Frictions of large section piles co-I# (PI- HKUST) May 1997 Aug., 2001 *attended interview # assisted PI to prepare proposal
3 Proposal Preparation 1. Novelty and innovation of your proposed project (not possible be achieved by GRF) 2. Clear project objectives and research strategy 3. Multi-disciplinary and complimentary team (may be international collaborator) 4. Well-defined role of each member 5. Strong track record of team members and better have joint publications/conferences/seminars etc .. 6. No. of members not more than 10 7. No. of collaborating institutions not more than 4 8. Management and progress meetings 9. Reasonable budget 10. Clear defined deliverables
4 Preparation for Interview 1. Who should attend the interview ? (PI + ?) 2. Scientific presentation but in simple laymen language 3. Highlight novelties and selling points 4. Highlight 1 or 2 key governing equation(s) (if appropriate) 5. Use more photographs, graphs and charts, but less words 6. Remember short and sweet precise and easy to understand 7. Rehearsal
