Subject: The NSTC 2026 "Humanities and Social Sciences Academic Monograph Writing Project Grant" is now open for applications. Online applications must be completed by January 4, 2026 (internal application deadline is January 4, 2026).

Notes:
1. Applications will be processed in accordance with the NSTC Guidelines for Granting Humanities and Social Sciences Academic Monograph Writing Projects and the Guidelines for Granting Special Research Projects. Applicant institutions and project leaders must carefully review all regulations beforehand.
2. The purpose of this monograph project grant is to write and publish academic monographs. If the research is still in its early stages and not yet fully developed, it is recommended to apply for an NSTC Special Research Project. According to the monograph project guidelines, project leaders who have previously conducted monograph writing projects that have not yet been published are not eligible to apply for another monograph writing project.
3. Project leaders who apply for and conduct more than one research project in the same year should list their priority in the project proposal. Multi-year research projects should take precedence over new applications. The National Science Council will review applications rigorously at each level based on the number of projects submitted.
4. The implementation period for this monograph project begins on August 1, 2026.
5. The application form for the monograph project is the same as that for the NSTC Special Research Project. All applications are submitted online. Please create all forms by logging into the "Academic Research and Development Service Network" on the National Science Council website (http://www.nstc.gov.tw).
6. When applying for a project, please select "Humanities and Social Sciences Academic Monograph Writing Project (Large-Scale)" and check the corresponding academic discipline in the discipline code.
