NCHU Intranet: R&D Portal

1. Introduction: To access the R&D portal, sign in with your credentials via the NCHU Single Sign-On Service.

1) The NCHU R&D portal is designed to provide a comprehensive record of faculty members’ research, teaching, and service achievements and to facilitate the faculty evaluation process by enabling real-time access to detailed faculty profiles.

2) The portal is intended to integrate faculty members’ academic and research achievements with the University’s academic development plans.

3) Faculty members can export their research portfolio directly from the portal.

4) Academic units can export accurate performance statistics from the portal if their faculty profiles are complete.

5) Applications for academic research performance incentives and grants must be submitted through the portal.

2. First-time users of the portal are required to select their field of expertise on the “profile maintenance” page before being allowed access to the portal.

3. We recommend using Google Chrome to access the portal. Navigate to the NCHU homepage, click or tap on “Single Sign On” from the menu bar, log in with your credentials, and select “R&D Portal.”

ORCID

For researchers, it is always crucial to make sure that all their academic research work and outcomes are properly connected. ORCID is the key to solve authorship identification issues and ensure that all of a researcher’s works are connected to themselves.
