Dear Sir/Madam
I am writing to request information about SCOLAR under the Code on Access to Information. Please kindly answer the following questions:
1. How many applications have been received for Research & Development Projects 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20 respectively?
2. How many applications above have been successful? Please provide the numbers for each year.
3. Please provide the titles, abstracts, information of PIs and co-Is and amount of funding for the projects referred to in Q.1.
4. With respect to Item 5 in Guide to Applications https://scolarhk.edb.hkedcity.net/sites/default/files/uploads/RandD/Project/2021-22/Guide_to_Applicants_R%26D_Projects_2021-22.pdf, please provide the reports and other documents from the past projects (refer to Q.1) that the PIs have granted licenses to SCOLAR to release to the public.
Please also notice the following statement about our expectations of how this request should be handled.
While we appreciate the government’s efforts to maintain transparency and accountability under the Code on Access to Information, we also notice considerable variation among different departments and bureaux in their responses to our Code on Access to Information applications. We would appreciate it if your department/bureau could maintain professional standards when answering our inquiries. Specifically, we expect answers to each and every one of our questions separately rather than an answer without clearly indicating which questions were addressed. In case of referencing to websites or documents, we need the specific paragraphs in the source texts that are relevant to our questions to be highlighted. If no information is available regarding some of our questions, please indicate that is the case explicitly so we can follow up properly. We will definitely ask our case to be reviewed by a more senior official in your department/bureau if our request is not properly handled. If it is believed that other department/bureau may possess information we request, please feel free to forward the request including our personal information.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Yours sincerely

Dear Ms Cheuk
I do not believe my request of information should take so long to fulfill, especially answers to Q1-3. In fact all the data I request should have been made publicly available similar to other funds such as QEF , GRF and PPRF
https://www.pico.gov.hk/en/PRFS/research_report.html . Please kindly review the case.
Yours sincerely
Simon Wang
