Subject: Revising the NSTC Special Research Project Report Format, effective immediately.
Explanation:
1. In accordance with Point 19 of the NSTC Special Research Project Operation Guidelines, applicant institutions should urge project leaders to submit electronic copies of their research results reports and study abroad experience reports online to the National Science Council website within three months of the expiration of their research projects.
2. To promote the pursuit of knowledge innovation and technological breakthroughs in NSTC-funded special research projects to address societal needs, this proposal has deleted the Results Summary Form (formerly Appendix 3) from the report format. Please include a systematic summary of the contributions of your research results in the NSTC Special Research Project Results Report, such as: major discoveries and breakthroughs in the field, solutions to practical problems, talent cultivation, concrete benefits in supporting industrial technological development, participation in academic activities, awards received, significant international collaborations, or the international impact of your research results.
3. Please submit one copy of the revised report format. You can also download the shared forms from the "Special Research Projects" section of the NSTC website (https://www.nstc.gov.tw/).
