Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei National Center for Technological Innovation is calling for proposals for the National Key R&D Program: Disruptive Technology Innovation Key Project.

You could visit its official website for more information with your own personal account: 国家科技管理信息系统公共服务平台 (most.gov.cn). If you do not have a personal account, please contact RSO, we will help you create one.

Budget Total: projects will be selected based on actual needs. Successful projects will be organized to complete the SOW, and after signing, funds will be disbursed according to the project milestones.

Priority Areas:

1. Integrated Circuits and Micro-Nano Systems 集成电路与微纳系统
2. Artificial Intelligence and Information Systems 人工智能与信息系统
3. Scientific Instruments and Novel Experimental Systems 科学仪器与新型实验系统
4. Life and Health 生命健康
5. Energy Resources and Environment 能源资源与环境
6. Advanced Manufacturing and Transportation Systems 先进制造与运载系统

Project Requirements:

1. The Special Program is positioned as an exploratory and developmental initiative, without specific project or topic guidelines.
2. The focus is on foundational and strategic industries within the economy and society, as well as prospective scenarios with the potential to become foundational and strategic industries.
3. The anticipated demand to be served has a significant current or potential scale, with notable pain points in demand.
4. It encompasses important cutting-edge technologies for theoretical breakthroughs or deeply interdisciplinary new technologies.
5. It possesses independent intellectual property rights and has a strong exclusivity.

Project Period: the project duration is set to be within 2 years.

Eligibility and Quota Requirements:

1. There are no restrictions on the educational background, title, or age of the PI.
2. The PIs should possess the capabilities and energy that align with the project requirements.
3. The PIs shall be the proposer of the main research concept and the scientific personnel who leads the research projects.
4. The PIs may take on this special project even after reaching the limit on the number of projects under other national scientific and technological programs; however, they typically should not undertake more than one project under this special program simultaneously.

Evaluation Criteria:

1. The special program adopts a “combination of offline guidance and formal application” approach.
2. “Offline guidance” means that project units submit their basic information and project information through the center’s dedicated email (dipa@jingjinji.cn) for initial screening. After passing the initial screening, the team submits a project proposal, and the center conducts validation, plagiarism checks, and specialized consultations, helping the project team continuously optimize the proposal. Following a comprehensive evaluation, candidate projects are established and stored in a candidate project pool.
3. “Formal application” refers to the submission of official project application materials for the registered projects in the National Science and Technology Management System.
4. Based on factors such as national strategic deployment, economic and social development needs, and future leadership roles, special projects will be further selected from the registered projects. Typically, one batch of projects will be established in the first half and another in the second half of each year (with major projects being approved at any time).

Language: Chinese

Internal Deadline: N/A. The Program will regularly collect project proposals publicly, allowing project teams to apply freely.

If you are interested in applying for this funding opportunity, please submit your applications via dipa@jingjinji.cn.
