INTRODUCTION AND ANALYSIS OF NSFC PROJECTS OF ENGINEERING GEOLOGY FIELD IN 2019

The NSFC proposals and grants of engineering geology field in 2019 are analyzed. The subjects include the engineering geological environment and disaster under the discipline of environmental geoscience and the engineering geology subordinate to the discipline of geology. The number of applications for funding projects in the field of engineering geology has increased rapidly, mainly due to the large increase in applications for General Program, Young Scientists Fund and Regional Science Funds. The number of applications for other types of fund programs remains stable. The statistics of the last ten years show that the peer-review referees well handled the peer-review scale on the proposals. The age structure of applicants for General Program tends to be younger, and that for the Youth Scientists Fund is reasonable. The field of engineering geology has been funded in a number of different project types, showing strong competitiveness.
