Résumé
Objective To have a global view of research field distribution and the development of research team in the field of“pathogenic microorganism and infection”by analyzing the projects submitted and funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China(NSFC)in 2014. Methods Several items in-cluding funding categories,applicants,research objectives,secondary codes,registered institutions and grants were statistically analyzed. Results The funded projects were mainly focused on the field of viruses. The numbers and rates of funded projects hosted by male applicants were higher than those by female ones. Applicants who were clinicians were poorly sponsored as compared with scientists. The academic levels of the registered institutions were unbalanced. More than 40% of the funded projects were applied by researchers from the top 10 registered institutions in number of sponsored applications. Conclusion The quality of the projects applying for the National Natural Science Fund has been keeping increasing. The scientific research-ers are young and highly educated. The scope of registered institutions have expanded. The research field is widely covered. Academic misconduct still exists.
