Under China's funding system, the application for scientific research funds is only a collection of alternative projects issued by the national science and technology higher authorities every year, and then the project application guide is made public. According to the submitted project application, it is allocated by discipline and unit strength (limited understanding, welcome to add and modify). Let's not talk about the good ones. Some achievements have been made and the scientific research level of some powerful scientific research units has been rapidly developed and improved. . . . . . But at the same time, it has also caused many serious problems in the field of scientific research funds, such as serious waste of funds, monopolization by a few big bosses, unfair distribution and evaluation, etc. There are fair fund applications, but relatively fair fund applications are few, and the competition is too fierce.

In a word, the appropriation system in China is from the superior director of the research unit to the unit, and the division of labor among departments, universities and Chinese Academy of Sciences is also a feature of the severe planned economy era. However, it is also a fact that the level of scientific research innovation in China is low, which shows that the cost performance is not high. On the one hand, it is difficult for researchers with innovative ability to obtain funds effectively, on the other hand, there are amazing scientific research funds wasted or defrauded by corruption at the national level (for some institutions and individuals, top-down money is cheap; There are too few academic liars.

In China, a group of large-scale academic fraud groups composed of locals, returnees and fake foreign devils have been formed.

There are some good experiences in applying for funds abroad, such as adopting a "bottom-up" application model, in which scientific researchers independently apply for research funds from various foundations according to the needs of project research; It has a flexible application system, but a strict fund review system.

I hope those who are familiar with domestic and foreign funding applications can provide some useful opinions or suggestions! !
