Abstract: The NSFC proposals and grants in the field of engineering geology(including the engineering geological environment and disaster under the discipline of environmental geoscience, and the engineering geology subordinate to the discipline of geology) in 2024 were analyzed. The number of project applications in 2024 has significantly increased, with the greatest rise in the General Projects. Statistics from the last ten years showed that the peer-review referees handled the peer-review scale of the NSFC proposals well. The age structure of applicants for the General Program tends to be younger, while that for the Youth Scientists Fund is reasonable. The field of engineering geology has been funded through several different project types, showing strong competitiveness.
