Abstract:
Objective:To review the funding status of the National Natural Science Foundation of China in the field of preventive medicine, summarize the characteristics of approved funding for sub-disciplines and institutions, to further analyze the effects of funding distribution.Methods:Descriptively analyze the funding status of the National Natural Science Foundation of China in the field of preventive medicine from 2010 to 2019, and analyze its aggregation effect by constructing a single funding strength and intensity index.Results:The project number, funding amount and number of research institutions have shown an overall upward trend. In the past 10 years, a total of 1.683 billion has been approved for funding, and the proportion in the Department of Health Sciences has remained at about 4%. Non-communicable disease epidemiology, human nutrition, and health toxicology are among the top three in terms of project number, funding amount, and number of grantee institutions. Sub-discipline funding is uneven, showing a phenomenon of development differentiation. The amount of approved funding, the number of institutions, and the strength of individual funding for universities are significantly higher than those of scientific research institutions and CDCs. The total amount of Top 10 funding accounted for 41.49%, which obviously showed a " head" effect.Conclusions:The Natural Science Foundation of China should continue to increase investment in the field of preventive medicine. Key breakthroughs in dominant disciplines, weaker disciplines make up for shortcomings, guide universities, research institutes, and CDCs to carry out inter-institutional project cooperation based on their respective advantages, and encourage interdisciplinary research to enhance discipline innovation capabilities.
