The Chiang Ching-Kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange offers Research Grants through its European Region program to support Chinese Studies in the humanities and social sciences. Projects on Taiwan Studies are especially encouraged, and collaborative projects involving institutions in Taiwan receive priority. Collaboration with other scholars is also an explicit consideration in assessing proposals.
The program supports research rather than publication projects or conferences. In selecting projects, the Foundation considers their importance within the field and potential long-term impact, alongside originality, feasibility, and methodology. Grants are usually awarded for no more than three years, with funds transferred to and managed by the recipient’s institution.
