Accepted key project application 1.539 (including jointly funded projects), and approved 284 funded projects, with an average funding intensity of 1.6024 million yuan per project.

Class, its funding accounts for more than 60% of the total funding of NSFC projects, reaching 7 1.89% in 2006, mainly supporting scientific and technological workers to freely select topics and carry out innovative scientific research within the scope of NSFC funding, and the funding period is generally 3 years. The text of the application should be prepared in accordance with the outline and requirements of the general project.
The number of applications for Youth Science Fund projects has maintained a sustained and rapid growth. The proportion of applications for general projects has increased from 14.5% and 438+0 in 2006 to 22.6%, while the proportion of applications for free projects has decreased from 8 1.3% and 438+0 in 2006 to 73%. It shows that the youth team in basic research has entered a period of rapid growth, and the national natural science foundation's funding for youth science funds is also increasing year by year. Among the general funded projects, the proportion of youth science funds increased from 200 1 16.5% to 23.7% in 2006, and the funding rate of youth science funds was higher than that of free application. While introducing general projects, each science department will also cover the general situation of the science department, matters needing attention in application, key funding direction and so on. It is another important part of the funding model of the National Natural Science Foundation.
