Abstract:
In 2024, under the background of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) reform of the project application rules and scientific research funding management mechanism during the centralized acceptance period, the discipline of F05 "Optics and Optoelectronics" carried out funding strategy reform and practical work. Firstly, this work focuses on the application and funding situation of general projects, youth science fund projects, regional science fund projects, key projects, outstanding youth science fund projects and outstanding young scholar science fund projects, and systematically analyzes the application scale, funding ratio and change trend. Then, the distribution of project applications and funding support units is comprehensively sorted out. And the current frontier research hotspots and potential growth points of optics and optoelectronics are analyzed in combination with the classification of secondary codes. Finally, the comparative effect of the "responsible, credibility, and contribution" (RCC) evaluation mechanism on the fairness, justice and efficiency of the discipline funding system is revealed. The purpose of this work is to provide a detailed reference framework for experts and scholars who apply for NSFC funding in the next year and stimulate innovation.
