Research Grants

Scholars at academic institutions are eligible to apply for research grants. Researchers focusing on the political, social, economic, and cultural development of Taiwan over the past few decades are especially encouraged to apply. Priority will be given to collaborative projects within institutions in Taiwan. Research grants are usually given for no more than three years and should not exceed US$120,000 for a three-year period.

The evaluation criteria for research grants are:

  1. the long-term impact of the proposed project;
  2. the importance of the proposed project in its field;
  3. originality, feasibility and methodology;
  4. collaboration with other scholars.
