Getting the Youth Foundation means starting earlier, and the more likely you are to establish your academic status earlier.

The Youth Foundation (Youth Fund) is a project specially set up by the National Natural Science Foundation of China for young researchers, requiring male applicants to be under 35 years old and female applicants to be under 4 years old. Every year, more than 1, people successfully apply for the Youth Fund. Behind the winners, there are three times as many losers as this group.

According to the current performance appraisal system of the school, teachers' performance pay will be much less if they don't get the Youth Fund. At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, whether it is 985 or 211 universities or ordinary 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 choose their own research direction to carry out innovative research, promote the growth of young scientific and technological talents, attract overseas talents, and cultivate a group of outstanding academic leaders who have entered the forefront of world science and technology. The Fund supports outstanding young Chinese scholars who work full-time in mainland China to engage in basic research in natural science.

The significance of winning the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars is not only reflected in the amount of the fund, but also because the fund has a very strict evaluation system, which means that the applicant's academic level has been recognized by his peers.
