Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of National Natural Science Foundation ( NSFC ) on the progress of the discipline of endocrine and metabolic research from 1987 to 2010.MethodsThe data regarding the NSFC allocated to endocrine and metabolic research from 1987 to 2010 were collected.Total expenses and numbers of the majority of programs,unit distribution,times of funding and the situation of completed program finished in recent two years were provided.ResultsFrom 1987 to 2010,a total of 731 projects and 178 398 thousands Yuan expenses of NSFC were allocated to endocrine and metabolic research.The detailed allocations are as follows:general program ( n =462 ),Young Scientists Fund ( n =187 ),regional fund ( n =28 ),Key Program ( n =9 ),National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars ( n =5 ),Joint Research Fund for Overseas Chinese Young Scholars( n =2 ),Fund for Creative Research Groups ( n =1 ),International ( regional )joint research program ( n =11 ),and the others ( n =26 ).Taking the projects ( n =102 ) completed in 2009 and 2010 as an example,279 papers were published in Science Citation Index ( SCI ) included journals and 236 papers were published in Chinese journals.During the time of the projects completed,8 post-doctoral students,169 students for PhD degree,and 227 students for Master degree have been graduated.ConclusionOver the past 25 years,the continuously increased funding of NSFC on endowrine and metabolic research has led to substantial achievement.The grants of talent training and research program have increased dramatically,and the units of funding increased yearly.Talent training and subject-specific development have increased greatly.
