STATISTICS |AND ANALYSIS OF NSFC PROJECTS OF ENGINEERING GEOLOGY IN 2009

This paper presents the statistics and analysis on the received and funded proposals for grants from National Natural Science Foundation of China in engineering geology in 2009. The number of the received proposals increases fast. The quality of the proposals has yet to be improved. The distribution of researchers in basic studies is unevenly distributed in different institutions. It is suggested to pay more attention to the development of young scientific talents in engineering geology.
