The Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange is now accepting on-line applications for research grants. Scholars at academic institutions are eligible to apply. Researchers focusing on the social, cultural, economic or political development of Taiwan over the past few decades are especially encouraged to apply. Priority will be given to collaborative projects with scholars in Taiwan. Research grants are usually given for no more than two years.
All applications must include the following items, in the order listed below:
- A one-page summary of the proposed project.
- A detailed itemized budget (If this sum is to be supplemented by matching funds, please include this information in the budget).
- A description of the proposed project of no more than 7 pages in length.
- All applications should also include curriculum vitae of the project director and any co-directors, as well as lists of publications over the last five years related to the proposed project, and any relevant supporting materials.
