(1) Is it an individual or a company? If it is a unit, what kind of unit is it? The vast majority of domestic funds support units, not individual research. So if you want to do any research, you must rely on some scientific research institutes or large enterprises. Note that government departments cannot do research by themselves, but subordinate research institutes (institutions) can;

(2) What is your research field? Social science? Natural science or technological invention? Different fields have different sources of funds. I suggest that you can browse the website of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Woodworm Forum, or Science Network to increase relevant knowledge. At present, there are many subsidies for related research in science and engineering in China.

In addition, some enterprises or individuals will fund some research, but their funding often has more restrictions on applicants. This can only be done if you know more relevant information.
