In 2022, the number of natural applications in China reached a new high. In 2022, the National Natural Science Foundation of China received a total of 294,396 applications for various projects, of which 292,827 were accepted and 1.569 were rejected, accounting for only 0.53%. In other words, experts need to select projects that meet the funding conditions from nearly 300,000 projects, just like looking for a needle in a haystack.

According to the latest news, naturally, in 2022, China has already started the letter review one after another, and the medical department has sent it for review, asking for a letter review on May 25th, and everyone is anxiously waiting. At the same time, some disciplines of medical stomatology also require that the proportion of experts' funds be controlled at around 40%.

Some colleagues began to use their brains. "PK is just those big names. Shall I apply to the Youth Science Foundation Corporation? "

The article "Discussion on Improving the Funding Efficiency of the Youth Science Fund of the National Natural Science Foundation of China" published by China Science Fund in 2020 pointed out that it is difficult for the Youth Science Fund to win the bid! Today, let's talk about it.

First of all, not everyone can apply for the Youth Science Fund project. It has a strict age limit and requires applicants not to be over 35 years old. In order to encourage women to participate in basic research, the age of female applicants is relaxed from 20 1 1 to 40 years old.

Then the problem is coming. Generally speaking, five years after graduation, medical students usually need 2-3 years of master's degree and/or 3-5 years of doctor's degree and/or unlimited years of standardized training to become a "basic" qualified doctor. By this time, they will be almost 30 years old.

Then, for a male doctor, he only has five years to apply for the Youth Science Fund. Before applying, he still needs to "catch up" with basic knowledge, statistical knowledge, find topics and ideas, complete the preliminary experiment with uncertain success or failure, and then search for the writing method of the project application. After repeated revisions by the director or tutor for countless nights, he can barely complete the whole application process.

Let's look at a set of statistics. The average age of young applicants in 2009-20 10 was 3 1.8 years old, and the average age of male applicants was older than that of female applicants. 20 1 1 after relaxing the age of female applicants, the average age of applicants rose to 32.7-32.8 years old, and the proportion of male applicants decreased year by year. 20 18, the proportion of women exceeds that of men for the first time.

Therefore, the golden age applied by the National Youth Fund is only 4 years between 3 1-35!

In order to seize this "golden four years", some colleagues apply every year, thinking: "It was not my turn last year, but it was my turn this year!" It's not my turn this year Next year is always my turn! "

Too young and naive! According to the statistics, the winning rate of 1-2 application is 23.8-23.9%, the winning rate of the third application is reduced to 23.3%, and that of the fourth application is reduced to 2 1.2%. To sum up in one sentence is "one effort, then decline, three times fatigue."

Are there any shortcuts to winning the bid quickly? Yes!

The statistical results show that the subsidy rate of applicants with intermediate and above titles is much higher than that of applicants with junior and below titles! The success rate is nearly 10 percentage point higher! ! !

"That's great! So how to quickly obtain intermediate and above titles? "

"Simple, apply for a national youth fund paper!"

"。 . 。"

Finally, we summarize several characteristics of the National Youth Fund:

1. The number of youth fund applications is increasing year by year;

2. The average funding rate of youth funds is 23.4%, which is decreasing year by year;

3. The average age of the successful bidder is about 32 years old, and the average age of men is older than that of female applicants;

4. The funding rate of applicants with intermediate and above titles is much higher than that of applicants with junior and below titles;

5. The more applications, the lower the funding rate.
