- After the PI successfully apply for the grant, the final report has to be submitted to the Higher Education Bureau by the end of the year. The PI has to apply for an extension if he/she would like to continue the project in the next fiscal year;
- The introduction of expenses items: Researchers, Consultation, Presenting findings, Publishing findings;
- The required documents regarding the completion report: Subsidized expense items, Non-subsidized expense items;

The Specialized Subsidy Scheme is the first ever public funding for the research in Humanities and Social Sciences disciplines.

The RSKTO arranged transportation for the staff members to attend the briefing session and will continue to work with the Higher Education Institutions in order to improve the research service for the UM members.
