美国民间基金会2003—2008对我国资助情况的分析

An Analysis of the Funding Mode of American Private Foundations in China

我国改革开放以来,获得美国基金会资助的渠道和数量有了长足发展。在2003—2008年间,有一千三百多个中国项目获得美国基金会的支持,对这些项目的深入分析反映了美国民间基金会对我国的资助模式。通过对接受美国基金会资助最多的几个典型单位的分析,可以看出美国民间基金会对我国的资助集中在软科学、社会科学以及教育和健康诸方面,鲜有对科学技术进步和"竞争力"的资助。通过加深对美国民间基金会资助模式的了解,有利于我们争取相关的国际资助。

China has received a significant amount of funding from American private foundations since the economic reform. Based on more than 1300 Chinese programs in 2003--2008, this paper analyzes the funding mode of American private foundations in China. Our main finding is that the funding concentrates on social sciences, education, and health, but not on hard science.
