According to the latest news, the results of the 2023 National Natural Science Awards will be announced earlier than last year, everyone pay attention!
Official: Generally, the results will be announced in mid-to-late August
It is clear on the official website of the National Natural Science Foundation of China that it usually takes about 5 months from the receipt of the National Natural Science Foundation of China to the completion of approval .
For most types of projects received in a centralized manner, the funding results are generally announced in the middle and late August of that year, and the rest of the projects are announced successively according to the project review process. The funding results of projects in the non-centralized receiving period will be announced successively in accordance with the guidelines and review process issued by the Natural Science Foundation of China.
2023 National Natural Ranking Prediction
From 2020 to 2022, due to some special reasons, there will be major changes in the release time of the National Nature. Everything has returned to normal this year, so there is a high probability that the announcement will be in mid-to-late August. Judging from the release time of the National Nature over the years, the release time of the National Nature is generally on Friday or around the 17th-18th;
If this rule is followed, it is estimated that this year's National Nature will be announced on the 14th-18th , and the official announcement shall prevail.
No news is the best news
Recently, everyone has started to be anxious again, because it is getting closer and closer to the time when the National Natural Science List is released, and this year may be especially anxious. Unlike previous years, this year's crackdown by the Fund Committee has resulted in less news to be inquired about.
It's basically cold if you haven't received the news yet?

Is it really possible to know in advance?
Of course, if the person reviewing your application happens to be a friend of yours, that's basically fine. But this year may be different. Different from previous years, this year's crackdown by the Fund Committee has resulted in less news.
I hope you all have the right attitude.
Because some applicants may get answers directly or through certain channels, some of these answers are more decisive, and more of them are: "I haven't seen it", "No news" (unit)...
However, many applicants are often troubled by not seeing it, not having any news, and thinking that they have "lost their reputation".
It is worth noting that some of these expressions are indeed euphemisms (regret); but more are the truth.
Applicants should consider:
● The memory of experts is limited, because there may be a few days before the actual review when waiting for the announcement of the experts of the department;
● Although in one subject, but not in one group;
● High-intensity review will be fast-paced (for example, the Ministry of Medicine needs to complete a large-scale book in two or three days, and the voting speed is very fast);
● Some experts, out of confidentiality or certain considerations, may have seen it and declined it out of the perspective that it is better to have one more thing than one less thing; it is really better to not see or not to know such an answer.
● It is normal for units to have no news before the rankings are released. It should be said that this is the case for most science and management departments.
So it is not necessarily bad news if we do not see or hear about it.
Generally speaking, after the list is released in mid-August, NSFC will notify the parties by email whether they have passed or not. So, no news right now, don't worry.
Finally, in August, I wish all researchers can be on the list!
A must-see question and answer before the results of National Nature
Q: Can experts see the list of all attendees during the on-site review?
A: Answer: Both the letter evaluation and the conference evaluation are grouped according to the second-level code. You only compete with the same second-level code. For example, the catalytic synthesis of b0105 under the chemical synthesis b01 of the chemical port will appoint a big cow to be the master in the conference evaluation review, and several review experts. Now you can only see the list of this group, unless you communicate with each other.
Q: What is the probability of winning in class A?
A: Answer: Very stable, the probability of missing is only 10-20%.
Q: Why is there such a big difference in the opinions of letter reviews? All the other experts gave me an A, and only one expert gave me a C, can I still get approved in the final stage?
A: Answer: If there is a C in the letter evaluation opinion, although it can be finally approved in the review stage, it is still relatively dangerous in most cases. Even if the meeting is held, it is still in the bottom 50% of the situation, and the best situation is only the middle 50%, which is relatively hanging!
If all the other experts give A, and only one expert gives C, then in this case, either the school is different and there is a team, or it is not in the taste of the experts, it is hard to say!
Moreover, applicants cannot see the comprehensive evaluation scores of this book. The above ABCs are just the scores given by the applicants based on the wording of the comments in the official emails. There is a gap with the actual situation, so it is recommended that everyone stay calm. , Wait patiently for the official announcement of the results!
Q: Judges, how long will it take to read an application?
A: Answer: This is not necessarily the case—I may finish the review in half an hour for the obviously bad book; for the book that I think is very good after reading through it, I will usually study it several times carefully to judge its academic level, which may take half a day to one day;
And for those books that I think are of good quality after reading through them for the first time, but not so good that they make my eyes shine and have no obvious mistakes, I will carefully read them one by one, and finally hope to make a fair conclusion. Judging, each of these books takes about 1 to 2 days on average.
Q: For different types of application projects, will the evaluation criteria of the review experts be different?
A: Answer: Of course there will be differences. For example, the Youth Fund project is the main support for the "Qingjiao" in the initial stage of scientific research. As long as the scientific questions raised are reliable, the research is meaningful and the storytelling ideas are clear, I am always willing to give funding; Most of the applicants who apply for the project have a good preliminary research foundation and have accumulated rich scientific research experience. The purpose of granting funding is to encourage them to challenge the "hard bone" problems in a certain research field. Naturally, strict requirements should be imposed on the innovation of the applied project sex.
