Analysis and suggestion on application and approval of national natural science foundation of China based on the experience of Xiyuan hospital of China academy of Chinese medical sciences / 国际中医中药杂志

ABSTRACT

The excel statistical software and standard research methods were applied to account the application and approval rates of NSFC of Xiyuan Hospital of CACMS in the recent 3 years. The application and feedback issued by NSFC were collated and analyzed in this paper. From the foundation management, all departments had higher enthusiasm on project application, but departments applied were relatively centralized. The approval rates had risen steadily in the past 3 years. And approved projects mainly focused on departments of cardiovascular, hematology, spleen and stomach, geriatrics and basic medicine. However, no higher level projects were not supported successful by NSFC. And research awards for Xiyuan Hospital were mainly supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology and NSFC. In order to enhance successful rates of application and guarantee development of science research more sustainable, rapid and healthy, enthusiasm of researchers should be stimulated; quality of declaration should be improved; new mechanism of scientific research management need be perfected; and a good research environment should be built.
