Applicants should prepare a scientific and reasonable budget according to the requirements of the Measures for the Administration of National Social Science Fund and the Measures for the Administration of National Social Science Fund Project Funds (see our website for details). The time limit for the completion of national social science fund projects is generally 3-5 years for basic theoretical research and 2-3 years for applied countermeasures research.
The National Social Science Foundation was established with the approval of the State Council, 1986, and is managed by the National Office of Philosophy and Social Sciences.
Since the establishment of the National Social Science Fund, with the great attention of the CPC Central Committee and the strong support of relevant parties, the total amount of the fund has been increasing, the coverage and influence have been expanding, the disciplines and project settings have been expanding, the project management system has been improving day by day, a large number of in-depth and weighty research results have been launched, and a large number of academic leaders with solid foundations have been trained. The guidance, authority and demonstration role of the national social science fund projects are becoming more and more obvious.
