In response to the demand for multidisciplinary research, the NSC has established the Interdisciplinary Office, which has created projects ranging from a partnership between display technologists and biomedical engineers to using physical chemistry methods for the investigation of biosystems, something never tried before in Taiwan.
此外，因應跨領域研究的需求，國科會在 2005 年新增了跨處室計畫，從影像顯示和生物醫學工程結合，到以物理化學方法探索生命系統，都是國內前所未有的嘗試。
