Interested applicants are invited to submit their applications directly to the online application system at the MOST website: Special Topic Research Project / Pre-proposal Project Category, on or before Oct. 12, 2020. Prior online approval, tabulation, and submission of all applications by the University to MOST are not required.
The Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) added a new "Frontier Nanotech" category to complement the existing "Innovative Applications" category to encourage original research and to encourage innovative thinking. Applicants may choose from only one of these two categories and submit at most one proposal. If an applicant's pre-proposal receives recommendation from the review panel at the conclusion of the review process, MOST will notify and invite the applicant to submit a concrete proposal. The project's implementation period begins on Aug. 1, 2021, subject to the final date approved by MOST.
