The evaluation of the fund is essentially only the evaluation of the quality of the fund application.

Because: there was no personal reply, no on-site understanding and no reply during the evaluation process.

So: evaluation actually only evaluates the application itself. Do not judge the actual academic level.

Therefore: a high academic level does not mean that the application can be passed.

In short: don't pin your hopes, attention and work focus on acquaintances, back doors or big trees (reason: besides-the fund evaluation is relatively fair; There are five judges; Most of the funds actually approved are not big trees)

A good title is half the battle.

The title should be "exact, eye-catching and distinctive". [The title is the first impression and the finishing touch]

Try to answer "what to do, what to aim at, what method to use, what problem to solve" in a short sentence. Need to be scrutinized repeatedly.

The size of the topic should be moderate to prevent "making a mountain out of a molehill"

400-word abstract: be specific, not empty [it's online content]

Choose the right object = volunteer.

Innovation is the soul of fund application, and it is also the key to evaluation and approval.

Innovations include: new theories; New methods; New system; new law

Source innovation = original+unique

Source: There are prospects for further development. ("the source" of the Yangtze River)

"substantial innovation"

Scope of support from the National Natural Science Foundation of China

Know what, why, and how to do it.

So: the topic "meaningful" is not enough, it should belong to the scope of fund support. ("Applied research" can apply for "co-funded" projects)

Might as well go somewhere else without firing a shot.

Key points of topic selection

Avoid "big and empty".

If the topic has an application background, it is necessary to "make it clear", that is, to make it clear where the application background is.

If it is an "interdisciplinary subject", it should not be "superficial and formal, but substantive."

Important needs time.

Title (abstract) ————————————10%

Basis for project establishment ——————————————————— 40%.

Feasibility of research contents and objectives -30%-20%

Key points of compiling engineering foundation

Both at home and abroad-avoid saying that you "don't know the domestic situation".

The domestic situation should have others' own. (Not afraid of overlapping with the "research foundation" part)-You can strive for the comment that "the project foundation is fully comprehensive".

If you want to write the reasons for developing this project, you'd better write what you found in the previous research, the implication is: "Only I can do this project", otherwise the implication against your comment can be: "The project you wrote is very important, but it is more suitable for others to do".

"Fill in the blanks" is not the basis of the project. Reason: China's fund is to "occupy a place in the world" rather than "fill the gap"; "Fill in the blanks" is essentially "tracking".

The main references are "no more, no less" and "new" [online]-avoid being too bloated and commenting on "not knowing enough"

Research contents, objectives and key problems to be solved

Key points: the content is concentrated and the goal is clear.

Write details (applications with specific research content are easily praised by experts)-avoid commenting that "the research content is not specific enough".

The research goal is to solve scientific and academic problems, not to find the best technology or improve performance, and to avoid being criticized as not being supported by the National Natural Science Foundation.

The "key problem to be solved" cannot be omitted, but must be accurate-avoid comments that "the application is obvious and there is no depth". Not too much-avoid "the applicant lacks the ability to complete this project".

The research content should be "focused". It's good to solve one or two scientific problems. Don't "cover everything"-avoid commenting on "too much content and not focused" (this is a common problem in many fund applications).

Research methods, technical routes and feasibility analysis to be adopted.

Distinguish between "research method" and "research content"-avoid "unclear thinking" in comments.

If the "research method and technical route" is clearly written, it is easy to get a comment of "strong feasibility". However, when there are confidentiality issues, they should be handled as appropriate (mainly for application basic projects).

Don't have too many "research methods and technical routes" (don't solve a problem in any way)-avoid comments that "the scope is too wide and the route is not clear".

"Feasible" means "academically feasible", not just "I have several professors, several graduate students and several instruments".

"Research team"+"research conditions"+"academic ideas" = feasible.

Characteristics and innovation

Get to the point, don't inflate, don't brag.

You should write about the characteristics of your research and innovative academic ideas, not the characteristics of this field.

Advocate "interdisciplinary", but where is the intersection?

"Fill in the blanks" is not a feature and innovation, so I won't write it here.

Annual research plan and expected results

The plan should be concrete. Avoid the following plans: the first year of literature research, the second year of experimental research, and the third year of writing research reports.

The inclusion of academic activities and international exchanges in the plan will help to add color and win additional funds.

The expected progress doesn't need to be too specific, just about it. Especially in basic research, the subject is allowed to be revised continuously in the process.

Expected results. For example, it is not good to expect to publish XX papers in core journals at home and abroad. The key is what level to achieve. Should be consistent with the "research objectives". Emphasize quality.

Research foundation and working conditions

Overall goal: get the comments of "strong research ability" and "basic working conditions".

Working Basis: Avoid writing only about the working basis and accumulation of our laboratory. The working basis of our laboratory is useful, but we should introduce the applicant's work.

Working conditions: the basic conditions should be written. The fund does not support the purchase of large instruments, but can only "write" the shortcomings of some small equipment (the actual use of funds is another matter)

Resume: Not only the applicant's, but also the main members of the project team. When introducing works, focus on works related to this topic. The catalogue of papers should have ranking, title, published name and time. This is conducive to the judges' ability to judge the research group, and also reflects the scientific style. )

Projects undertaken: name, number, source of funds, year, month and content; The completion status can't just be written as "completed" and "smoothly carried out" (the level of published papers, the cited situation, the results of postgraduate training, etc. ).

Try to do a few things outside the application.

It is very important to know more about the domestic and international trends of this major at ordinary times, so as to avoid cramming after the Spring Festival every year. Application is the accumulation and sublimation of usual preparation work.

Familiar with capital application process and related laws and regulations. Such as: applicant's conditions [working years, on-the-job graduate students], limited application terms [new], 5% management fee, 15% service fee [new].

Understand the fund approval process. The first trial [A, B, C and other five experts. , you can ask for withdrawal], second instance [non-* * knowledge item]

While knowing about the Fund Committee, let the Fund Committee know about your work and ability. Introduce their work in various ways of communication (they are willing to communicate). The foundation that has applied for will introduce its achievements (send articles, etc.) at any time. ).

The format of the application is strictly in accordance with the regulations of the Fund Committee. Don't fall in love with small things.

There is no objection to using other means.
