Ka-che Yip, professor of history, has been awarded a grant by the Hong Kong Research Grants Council. Beginning January 2012, Yip will be the co-investigator of the project, “A History of Diseases and Epidemics in Hong Kong, 1841-2003.” The grant will last for three years and is for HK $480,048 or about U.S. $62,000.
The grant builds upon another completed project, “A History of Public Health in Hong Kong,” which was funded by the same agency several years ago. Yip was also a co-investigator of that project.
