INTRODUCTION AND ANALYSIS OF NSFC PROJECTS OF ENGINEERING GEOLOGY FIELD IN 2023

An analysis was conducted on the NSFC proposals and grants in the field of engineering geology for the year 2023. This includes the engineering geological environment and disaster under the discipline of environmental geoscience, as well as the engineering geology subordinate to the discipline of geology. It was found that there has been a steady increase in the number of applications for funding projects in the field of engineering geology, with the largest increase observed in applications for the Youth Science Funding project. Over the past decade, statistics have shown that peer-review referees have effectively handled the peer-review scale on the NSFC proposals. Furthermore, 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 demonstrated strong competitiveness and has received funding for several different project types.
