At present, the review of various departments of the National Natural Science Institute has ended. According to the release time of China Nature in previous years, the release of China Nature in 2023 will be just a few days away.
This article sorts out the trend chart of the national nature centralized acceptance projects in recent years, including the amount of funding, funding rate, etc., and summarizes the trends of areas, greens, and regions based on the data, and puts forward constructive suggestions.
Funding amount for general projects
Youth Project Funding Amount
Regional Project Funding Amount
Proportion of General Project Funding %
Proportion of funding for youth projects
Total Regional Funding Rate %
Recent Trends of Surface Projects
The amount of funding has increased significantly in 21 years after the epidemic, and decreased in 22 years;
The proportion of the funding amount in the national natural projects has been declining year by year, and the curve has dropped slightly in 22 years;
In terms of funding rate, the total funding rate dropped sharply during the epidemic, and showed a slight upward trend in the next 21 and 22 years, but it was generally lower than before the epidemic by more than 2 percentage points.
Summary of general projects: After the epidemic, it is more difficult to declare and approve projects in recent years than before the epidemic, which may be related to the economic situation in the year of the epidemic. After 20 years, the funding amount has rebounded sharply, but it may be due to the stagnation or slowdown of some scientific research due to the epidemic. In 21 years, the number of applicants was too concentrated, which led to fierce competition. The recovery rate is slower.
Recent Trends in Youth Programs
The epidemic situation of funding amount has been on a steady upward trend so far and no major impact has been seen;
The total proportion of funding amount in national natural projects is increasing year by year, but the curve is gradually slowing down;
In terms of funding rate, the total funding rate dropped sharply during the epidemic, rebounded in 21 years, and declined slightly in 22 years, which was generally 0.67 percentage points lower than before the epidemic.
Youth project summary: The country has been vigorously developing and funding outstanding young scientific research scholars in recent years. Therefore, no matter whether there is external force or not, the funding has not slowed down significantly, and the proportion has also increased year by year. However, this has also led to fierce competition year by year. In terms of the funding rate, it can be seen that although the amount of funding has increased steadily, the total funding rate is still tending to decline. However, according to the August 14th of this year, "Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, Dou Xiankang: Strengthening basic research is the only way to build a world science and technology power." The four points emphasized in: 1. Increase funding; 2. Strengthen key disciplines, A1, etc.; 3. Strengthen support for young talents; 4. Scientific research fairness, norms and integrity. showing an upward trend.
Recent Trends in Regional Projects
The amount of funding has increased significantly in 21 years after the epidemic, and has stabilized in 22 years;
The proportion of the funding amount in the national natural projects tends to be stable and fluctuating, and has declined slightly in 22 years;
In terms of funding rate, the total funding rate declined in the year of the epidemic, and then stabilized.
Summary of regional projects: The overall situation has been basically stable in the near future. Although it was affected in the year of the epidemic, the follow-up curve has basically not changed significantly.
Summarize
1. According to the overall situation in the past four years, the difficulty of general project application has increased significantly. It is recommended to make full preparations before application, and consider investing more in some countries’ main policy support directions on the premise of conforming to the development of your own discipline. At the discipline level, more consideration can be given to the combination of interdisciplinarity and AI artificial intelligence.
2. The difficulty of applying for the Youth Fund project is basically stable, but the national policy orientation and investment may increase. It is recommended that young scholars devote more energy in this age group as much as possible to create hope for individuals and for the country's future scientific research;
3. The overall funding situation of regional projects is stable, and regional scholars who meet the basic scientific research conditions and are within the scope of funding can apply.
policy trend reference
1. Pay more attention to the motivation of young scholars
2. Pay more attention to the development of project innovation direction
3. Pay more attention to scientific and technological research in the direction of the neck
suggestion
Young scholars must seize the current opportunity to make a breakthrough;
The project declaration has gradually shifted from micro-innovation in the early years to the innovation stage. In the future, due to the suppression of Western society, it may pay more attention to technological innovation;
AI artificial intelligence may fully cover various disciplines in the future;
Policies support the field of innovation and basic research, increase investment in innovative basic research, and are more inclined to discipline exploration. Since project declarations focus more on innovation, the supporting factors in the early stage of project approval are particularly critical. It is recommended that no matter what type of project it is, it is necessary to do a good job of pre-experiment Support work.
