| Goal | The Academia Sinica Career Development Award (CDA) has been established to recruit and encourage young scholars with excellent research records and outstanding scholarly potential to engage in innovative and internationally-competitive research projects, thereby cultivating and promoting world-class academic talent. | The Academia Sinica (AS) Investigator Project Grant (IV) has been established to encourage researchers to concentrate on their research while engaging in original scholarship about important subjects that can fully realize their academic potential and make major contributions at a global level, and enhance outstanding research within AS. These Guidelines have been established to promote this end. | The Academia Sinica Thematic Research Program (TP) has been established to promote basic research projects while achieving world-class major contributions. These Guidelines have been established to promote this end. | The Academia Sinica Grand Challenge Program (GCP) has been established to encourage researchers to pursue innovative solutions for critical problems in science and the humanities that have broad and lasting impact. | The Academia Sinica Grand Challenge Program Seed Grant has been established to identify and foster early-stage research for key breakthrough research projects, which are relatively small in scale and relatively short in duration. An open call for grant applications are planned twice a year to maintain flexibility in changes in the current situation and needs of cutting-edge technology development. | |
