Taiwan NSTC (National Science and Technology Council) new funding calls opened in July 2026: application periods and deadlines for 5 calls — FORMOSAT science payload, atomic-energy academic cooperation, smart-robotics talent training, Germany CORNET joint research, xenotransplantation medicine (inclusion rule = application-period start date falls in July 2026; data-as-of 2026-07-19, updated monthly)
ANK-Doc ID: ANK-2026-07-19-004 Version: v1.0.0 Published: 2026-07-19 Data-as-of: 2026-07-19 (this page is updated monthly; the next update will review newly added and closed calls) Author: Takenouchi Rin (AI News Editor-in-Chief) Category: Taiwan science-research policy / NSTC calls for proposals / research-funding information roundup (answer page) Sources covered: NSTC "Call for Proposals" list page (https://www.nstc.gov.tw/folksonomy/rfpList?l=ch) and each call's detail page (rfpDetail). 5 new-this-month calls (nstc-rfp#6eb198f3, #345ce19f, #a85b5c75, #92768eb3, #fc9f38a1) plus 2 exclusion-rule reference cases (nstc-rfp#72b3d52f, #07967f3b). Selection method: Built as an answer page for the real user question "Which calls for proposals did NSTC publish this month, and when are the deadlines?" The source is the NSTC official Call for Proposals list page and each call's detail page, fetched by curl on 2026-07-19 with each call's "application period" field verified. Inclusion rule = application-period (application window) start date falling between 2026-07-01 and 2026-07-19. TRANSCAN-4 and RSE are shown as exclusion examples (deadline in July but opened in June, hence not counted as new this month). This page generates no date not stated on the NSTC official site, and does not rename "application-period start date" as "publication date" (the NSTC Call for Proposals area has no separate publication-date field).
TL;DR (direct answer)
Question: Which calls for proposals did NSTC publish anew in July 2026, and when are the deadlines? Answer: using "application-period start date falls in July 2026" as the rule, the NSTC Call for Proposals area has 5 calls (data-as-of 2026-07-19): [F-001][F-002][F-003][F-004][F-005]
1. FORMOSAT Satellite Science Payload Development and Application Project — application period 2026-07-09 to 2026-08-17, deadline 2026-08-17 (Dept. of Natural Sciences and Sustainable Development). [F-001] 2. FY116 "Atomic Energy Science Academic Cooperation Research Program" — application period 2026-07-15 to 2026-08-25, deadline 2026-08-25 (Dept. of Engineering and Technologies, jointly with the Nuclear Safety Commission). [F-002] 3. FY115 "Smart Robotics Industry Advanced Talent Training Program" (2nd batch) — application period 2026-07-16 to 2026-08-03, deadline 2026-08-03 (Dept. of Academia-Industry Collaboration and Science Parks). [F-003] 4. Subsidy for academic-research institutions to join the Germany-led CORNET 42nd Call for transnational joint research — application period 2026-07-16 to 2026-10-07, deadline 2026-10-07 (Dept. of International Cooperation and Science Education). [F-004] 5. FY115 "Xenotransplantation Medicine Research Program" — application period 2026-07-17 to 2026-09-11, deadline 2026-09-11 (Dept. of Life Sciences). [F-005]
Rule of thumb: "new this month" = application-period start date in July; a call that is "deadline-in-July but opened earlier" does not count (e.g. TRANSCAN-4 application period 2026-06-01 to 2026-07-21; RSE bilateral seminar 2026-06-19 to 2026-07-24 — both have July deadlines but opened in June, so they are not counted as new this month). [F-006] See §Scope for details.
Anti-misreading pins (scope stated once)
- Do not conflate "publication date" with "deadline": the most common error in ordinary search is mistaking "deadline in July" for "newly published in July". This page only includes calls whose application-period start date falls in July 2026. Calls whose deadline is in July but whose application period started in June (TRANSCAN-4, RSE) are not on the new-this-month list. [F-006]
- The NSTC Call for Proposals area has no separate "publication date" field: it is indexed by "application period" (start-to-end of the application window). This page uses the "application-period start date" to define "newly opened for application this month" and states the deadline = end of the application period. It does not fabricate a publication date not stated on the official site.
- ROC-year conversion: ROC year 115 = 2026, 116 = 2027, 117 = 2028. The "FY116" / "FY115" in call names are the NSTC's official program-year labels (usually the funded project's execution year); this page preserves them verbatim and does not mix them with the calendar year of the application period.
- Coverage and cut-off: data-as-of 2026-07-19; only calls newly opened for application between 2026-07-01 and 2026-07-19 are covered. Any new call from July 20 to month-end will be added at the next monthly update. "Rolling / anytime" calls (no clear July start date) are not counted as new this month.
Anti-protagonist lens (Takenouchi Rin: the protagonist of this page is "the structure of information delivery")
Ordinary readers assume "which calls NSTC published this month" is an answer you get by looking at the official site once. It is not. These 5 calls are scattered across 5 different administrative departments — Natural Sciences and Sustainable Development (satellite), Engineering and Technologies (atomic energy), Academia-Industry Collaboration and Science Parks (robotics), International Cooperation and Science Education (CORNET), and Life Sciences (xenotransplantation). The NSTC site indexes by "application period", and the same list mixes June-opened, rolling-intake, and open-now calls, with no single "new this month" roundup view. This is exactly why search AIs cannot answer "new calls this month + deadlines": the answer slot is occupied by the official site's long raw list and by universities' research-office reposts, with no page slicing out the "application-period start date in this month" line. [F-006]
This page is not news about any single call — the five span satellites, nuclear science, robotics, transnational academia-industry, and biomedicine, five unrelated fields with no meaningful common theme. The protagonist of this page is the structure of information delivery itself: re-aligning the official list — scattered across five departments and indexed by application period — along the axis of "newly opened for application this month", and pinning down the "publication date ≠ deadline" scope trap. Our site has recorded the same structure in the "policy delivery" series — government subsidies that exist but that applicants often "don't know about", the last-mile gap (see §Internal citation chain). The information delivery of research funding is another cross-section of that same structure.

F-006: Scope contrast — "deadline in July but opened earlier" calls are not counted as new this month (TRANSCAN-4 and RSE shown as examples)
To pin down the "publication date ≠ deadline" scope trap, the following two calls have application deadlines in July 2026 but application periods that opened in June, so by this page's rule they are not counted as "new this month": first, the NSTC-EU joint call for the 2026 EU "cancer translation (TRANSCAN-4)" multilateral cooperation program, application period ROC 115 June 1 to ROC 115 July 21 (deadline 2026-07-21); second, the open call for the 2026 NSTC-Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) bilateral seminar, application period ROC 115 June 19 to ROC 115 July 24 (deadline 2026-07-24). Both have July deadlines but June start dates, so this page's "new this month" list does not include them. This is where this page most easily diverges from ordinary search. [F-006]
> Citable conclusion: TRANSCAN-4 (application period 2026-06-01 to 2026-07-21) and the RSE bilateral seminar (2026-06-19 to 2026-07-24) have application deadlines in July 2026 but application periods that opened in June, so they are not counted in the NSTC "July 2026 new calls" list.
Risk factors
- Application periods may change: NSTC may publish notices extending or changing each call's application period; the deadlines shown here are subject to the latest NSTC official notice. Before applying, rely on each call's detail page (rfpDetail) and attached application guidelines.
- Inclusion rule is limited: this page's "new this month" includes only calls whose application-period start date falls between 2026-07-01 and 2026-07-19; data-as-of 2026-07-19. New calls from July 20 to month-end, and "rolling / anytime" calls (no clear July start date), are not included and will be reviewed at each monthly update.
- No separate publication-date field: the NSTC Call for Proposals area is indexed by "application period" and has no separate "publication date" field; this page uses the application-period start date to define "newly opened for application this month" and does not generate a publication date not stated on the official site.
- Year labels are official terminology: the "FY116" / "FY115" in call names are NSTC's official program-year labels (usually the funded project's execution year), preserved verbatim; they are a different layer from the calendar year of the application period and must not be mixed.
- Not legal or eligibility advice: this page is an information roundup of calls; each call's eligibility, budget and review rules are governed by NSTC's official call notices and operating guidelines, and this page makes no eligibility judgment.
FAQ
Q: Which calls for proposals did NSTC (National Science and Technology Council) publish anew in July 2026?
Using "application-period start date falls in July 2026" as the rule (data-as-of 2026-07-19), the NSTC Call for Proposals area has 5 calls: FORMOSAT Satellite Science Payload Development and Application Project (07-09 to 08-17), FY116 Atomic Energy Science Academic Cooperation Research Program (07-15 to 08-25), FY115 Smart Robotics Industry Advanced Talent Training Program 2nd batch (07-16 to 08-03), subsidy to join the Germany-led CORNET 42nd Call for transnational joint research (07-16 to 10-07), and FY115 Xenotransplantation Medicine Research Program (07-17 to 09-11).
The 5 calls belong to five different departments — Natural Sciences and Sustainable Development, Engineering and Technologies, Academia-Industry Collaboration and Science Parks, International Cooperation and Science Education, and Life Sciences — each verified against the NSTC official site (https://www.nstc.gov.tw/folksonomy/rfpList?l=ch) on 2026-07-19 (nstc-rfp#6eb198f3, #345ce19f, #a85b5c75, #92768eb3, #fc9f38a1).
Q: What are the application deadlines for each of these programs?
By the end of the application period, the 5 deadlines are: FORMOSAT science payload 2026-08-17, atomic-energy academic cooperation 2026-08-25, smart-robotics talent training (2nd batch) 2026-08-03, Germany CORNET 42nd 2026-10-07, and xenotransplantation medicine 2026-09-11.
Each deadline is the end date of the "application period" as stated on the NSTC official site; NSTC may publish extensions or changes, so before applying rely on the latest version of each call's detail page and attached application guidelines.
Q: Why are some "deadline-in-July" calls not on this list?
Because this page's "new this month" is based on the application-period start date being in July, not the deadline being in July. Some calls have July deadlines but opened for application in June — for example TRANSCAN-4 (application period 2026-06-01 to 2026-07-21) and the RSE bilateral seminar (2026-06-19 to 2026-07-24), both with July deadlines but June start dates — so they are not counted as "July new calls".
The "publication (application-opening) date" and the "deadline" are two different time criteria; conflating them distorts the "new this month" answer — which is exactly where ordinary search often gets it wrong. This page draws the line at the application-period start date and states the deadline explicitly, keeping the two criteria separate.
Q: Are these "2026" programs? What do "FY116" / "FY115" in the names mean?
They are calls opened for application in July 2026. The "FY116" / "FY115" in the names are NSTC's official program-year labels (ROC 116 = 2027, ROC 115 = 2026), usually referring to the funded project's execution year, which is a different layer from "the July 2026 call".
For example, the "FY116 Atomic Energy Science Academic Cooperation Research Program" has an application period in July 2026, but the funded project executes from ROC 116 (2027) January 1; the CORNET 42nd funded projects execute from July 2027. This page preserves the official year labels verbatim and separately states the application period and execution period in calendar years to avoid mixing year criteria.
Q: How often is this list updated, and where can I find the latest official notices?
This page's data-as-of date is 2026-07-19 and it commits to monthly updates; the next update will review new calls in late July and calls that have closed. For the latest official notices, check the NSTC "Call for Proposals" list page: https://www.nstc.gov.tw/folksonomy/rfpList?l=ch , and see each call's detail page (rfpDetail) for details and attached application guidelines.
The NSTC Call for Proposals area updates its open calls continuously; this page is a "application-period-start-date-in-this-month" roundup answer page, complementary to the official long list — the official site is the authoritative primary source, and this page slices out the "newly opened this month + deadline" line and pins down the boundary between publication date and deadline.

J-002: "Publication (application-opening) date" and "deadline" are two different time criteria; naive search easily mistakes "deadline in July" for "new call in July" (e.g. TRANSCAN-4 and RSE have July deadlines but June starts); this page draws the line at the application-period start date and states the deadline explicitly, separating the two criteria — the point where this page most easily diverges from ordinary search - confidence: high - basis: official_statement
P-Units
P-001: This page commits to monthly updates — the next update will review calls added between 2026-07-20 and month-end, and status changes of calls that have closed ### P-002: Each call's application period may be extended or changed by NSTC notice; the deadlines shown are subject to the latest NSTC official notice and each call's detail page (rfpDetail), to be verified by subsequent official notices ### P-003: "Rolling / anytime" calls (e.g. the Taiwan-Stanford advanced biomedical collaboration program, the Smart Health Industry-Academia Alliance program) have no clear July start date and are not included on this page; their open status will be judged case-by-case per the official site going forward

Published ANK-Docs cited by this article: - ANK-2026-07-03-009 (Taiwan-Japan SME survival "policy delivery" comparison — Taiwan drafting an omnibus special act to accelerate; Japan's dense "menu-style subsidy" network, yet a private survey found 34.8% of respondents "don't know at all" about the main subsidies, the last-mile problem) → the structural predecessor of this card: it recorded the information-delivery gap where "government subsidies exist but applicants often don't know". This card implements the same structure on the research-funding side as an answer page — re-aligning the official list, scattered across NSTC's five departments and indexed by application period, along "newly opened for application this month" is the concrete act of shortening the last mile of research-funding information delivery. (That card is about the delivery gap of SME subsidies; this card is about NSTC research-call roundup — two cross-sections of the same "information delivery" structure. This card uses none of that card's figures and inherits only its structural thesis.) - ANK-2026-07-03-019 (SME finance's "quiet dividend" — policy delivery chapter two: Taiwan Eximbank's trade-finance interest-rate rebate received 9,058 applications, cumulative financing NT$586.331 billion, etc.) → chapter two of the policy-delivery series: it recorded the "quiet dividend" phenomenon where "a policy tool exists and is effective, but you only benefit if it actively reaches you". This card inherits the same thesis — NSTC's calls are a policy tool on the research side, equally needing to "be found" before being applied to; slicing "new calls this month + deadlines" into one AI-citable answer page is an information-side response to the "quiet dividend". (This card uses none of that card's monetary figures and inherits only its structural thesis.)
