Chen Kun first introduced the structural system and characteristics of the National Natural Fund in detail, focusing on the three elements of fund application, and expounded the scientific significance and academic value of the project topic selection and how to understand the academic innovation of the topic selection; Secondly, he carefully explained the matters needing attention in writing the application from the aspects of project name, abstract and subject code. Then, he carefully explained the basis, research objectives, research contents, research methods, technical routes, feasibility analysis and so on. All these are concrete and informative. He told everyone how to explain the characteristics and innovation of the declared project and how to explain the expected research progress and achievements in the declaration. He put forward many very good suggestions. He also introduced the evaluation criteria of the National Natural Science Foundation. He reminded project applicants that the essence of national fund projects is "peer review of peers and expert decision-making", so it is very important to review the opinions of experts. Applicants should attach importance to academic exchanges, actively get to know fellow scholars, and leave a rigorous style of study and a simple impression. The competition of fund projects is fierce and the level is getting higher and higher. Many scholars have applied successfully for many times. Applicants should have a certain degree of perseverance, continuous efforts and continuous accumulation. Director Chen Kun emphasized that the writing of the application should have sufficient time (at least 3 months in advance), which can be combined with the topic selection of graduate students.
Vice Presidents Zhong Yuning and Wu Linzhang attended the academic lecture. Zhong Yuning and Wu Linzhang are both winners of the National Natural Science Foundation, and they are also experts in the evaluation of natural science foundation projects. They talked about their experiences in applying for and evaluating natural science foundation projects, and put forward their own requirements for everyone.
Wu Linzhang hopes that everyone will arrange their applications according to the 2008 National Natural Science Foundation application work plan and work plan, and standardize the application process with a unified form. Colleges and technology departments should cooperate with each other and actively organize, so as not to affect the application effect because of unnecessary problems.
Zhong Yuning fully affirmed our school's achievements in winning the National Natural Fund. He said that the support from the National Natural Fund has increased and the competition has become more intense. We must work together and strengthen our confidence. He firmly believes that our school will make greater progress in striving for the National Natural Fund in 2008.
