General project requirements are relatively high, requiring outstanding innovation, good research foundation and strong research team. The funding intensity of general projects is higher than that of youth fund projects. Young researchers should have a clear judgment on their own research topics and choose to apply for suitable projects.
The overall layout of key projects is basically in accordance with the five-year plan, and the research fields for accepting applications are determined every year, and guidelines are issued to guide applications; The application of key projects should reflect the principle of limited objectives, limited scale and prominent focus, attach importance to cross-cutting and infiltration, and make use of the conditions of existing important scientific bases.
Under normal circumstances, it shall be undertaken by one unit, and there shall be no more than two cooperative research units when necessary. The research period is generally 4 years (unless otherwise specified).

During the centralized acceptance period in 2006, the National Natural Science Foundation accepted 63,330 projects of various types, with a year-on-year increase of 20.3%, of which 59,079 were general project applications (including jointly funded projects), with a year-on-year increase of 20. 1%. Approving funds 10362, with a year-on-year increase of 13.73%. The average funding intensity is 2610.5 million yuan/item.
General projects, also known as general projects, are the main components of the research projects of the National Natural Science Foundation. They support the scientific and technical personnel engaged in basic research to choose their own topics within the funding scope of the National Natural Science Foundation, carry out innovative scientific research, and promote the balanced, coordinated and sustainable development of various disciplines.
