Abstract: The NSFC proposals and grants of engineering geology in 2015 were analyzed. The number of proposals has been increasing. The number of General Program proposals increased significantly in this year. The peer-review referees well handled the scale of peer-review on the proposals, especially the NSFC Young Scientists Fund. The age distribution of the applicant tends to be reasonable. There are reasonable varieties of funded ratio among different age group. The young scientists have not actively participated in the grants of National Science Fund for Distinguished Young yet. The applicants of Key Program tended to be older in age than average, and the Pis of Key Program turned out to be older severely.
