Abstract:
Objective Applications and grants of young scientists fund on Health Sciences of National Natural Science Fund in Shanghai First People's Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University during 2011-2015 were analyzed with an attempt to explore the ways to increase the funding rate.Methods x2 test and t test were performed,and a binary Logistic stepwise regression model was established to determine variables influencing the results of applications.Results During 2011-2015,504 applications were presented among which 119 were granted.The funding rate was higher than the average value of the Department of Health Sciences.The results of Logistic regression analysis indicated that degree and the highest impact factor of SCI articles published by applicants were the key determinants predicting whether an application will be granted or not.When applicants applied young scientists fund in one or two years after their postgraduate study,the funding rates were 35.51% and 28.13% respectively,which were both higher than the corresponding annual funding rates.It declined thereafter and became lower than the corresponding annual funding rates.Conclusions SCI article is an important aspect of academic achievements of applicants,which is a prerequisite for an application to be granted.However,a scientific and innovative project may be critical for the outcome of an application.The results of the current research suggest investigators apply young scientists fund as early as possible.
