As the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) is currently accepting a large number of project proposals for the 2026 (Year 115) funding cycle, the Taiwan Academic Ethics Education Resource Center has produced the short video “Stop, Look, and Listen Before Submitting Your Proposal.” This video highlights eight key points researchers should pay attention to when preparing their project applications.
The Center has also released a new short video, “Common Violations of Academic Ethics in Project Applications: Real Cases,” which presents six typical violation scenarios to remind researchers of important academic ethics regulations.
In addition, Principal Investigators are encouraged to use the “Self-Assessment Checklist for Applicants of Government-Funded Research Projects” before submission to review the following:
- Originality and innovativeness of the proposed project
- Accuracy of citations in the research outputs
- Disclosure of information related to follow-up studies (theses, previously funded work, etc.)
- Completion of research ethics review if human participants are involved
- Completion of academic ethics education and training for first-time applicants or executors
