Obtaining Qingji (Youth Fund) means an earlier start, and the more likely you are to establish your academic status earlier.

Qingji (Youth Fund) is a project specially established by the National Natural Science Foundation of China for young researchers. Male applicants are required to be under 35 years old and female applicants are under 40 years old. About 10,000 people successfully apply for the Youth Fund every year. Behind the successful people are three times the number of losers.

According to the school’s current performance appraisal system, if the teacher does not receive the youth fund, the teacher’s performance salary will be much less. Every year at the end of the year, whether it is 985, 211 colleges or ordinary colleges and universities, a school-wide mobilization meeting will be held to encourage young teachers to apply for youth funds.

The value of the Youth Fund

The Youth Fund supports young scholars who have made outstanding achievements in basic research to independently choose research directions to carry out innovative research, promote the growth of young scientific and technological talents, and attract overseas Talents, cultivating and creating a group of outstanding academic leaders who enter the forefront of world science and technology. This fund supports outstanding young Chinese scholars working full-time in mainland China to engage in basic research in natural sciences.

The significance of receiving the "National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars" is not only reflected in the amount of the fund. The reason why it maintains such strong vitality is also because this fund has a very strict evaluation system. Fund support means that the applicant's academic level has been recognized by peers.
