Undergraduate Research Program

1Program Purpose

The National Science and Technology Council's Undergraduate Student Research Program aims to give outstanding undergraduate students the opportunity to receive research training early, with advising professors guiding students from formulating a research topic, through conducting the research, to writing the final report — cultivating students' research skills and academic ethics literacy.

2Eligibility

• Undergraduate students in their sophomore year or above, with a commitment to advise from a professor and a strong academic record.
• The advising professor must meet the National Science and Technology Council's qualifications for a research project principal investigator, and may advise no more than 2 students per year.
• The student and advising professor may not be spouses or relatives by blood or marriage within the third degree.

3Application and Project Period

Each academic year, the application deadline generally falls around January–February (actual dates are subject to the National Science and Technology Council's annual announcement); the project period runs from July 1 through the end of February the following year, for a total of 8 months. Students must complete at least 6 hours of academic ethics education during the project period.
