The National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) has amended Article 16 of the “Operational Guidelines for NSTC-Sponsored Undergraduate Research Programs”

The National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) has amended Article 16 of the “Operational Guidelines for NSTC-Sponsored Undergraduate Research Programs”, adding Clause 4 “Students who apply for a research project grant must complete at least six hours of academic ethics education training and submit the relevant certification to their institution before the institution sends the application to the NSTC”.

Students who wish to apply to the NSTC Undergraduate Research Program should visit the “Taiwan Academic Ethics Education Resource Center” at https://ethics.moe.edu.tw/. Register as an individual, select the relevant course(s), complete the online test, and obtain a six-hour training certificate.

Once the internal deadline for the 2025 NSTC Undergraduate Research Program applications is announced, please upload the six-hour training certificate to the NSTC system under “OTH4: Other Documents Supporting Project Review”. Applications without the required certificate uploaded will not be accepted.

Attached are the “Operational Guidelines for NSTC-Sponsored Undergraduate Research Grant Programs” for your reference.
