国家自然科学基金对传染病流行病学研究方向的资助情况分析

Analysis of projects of infectious disease epidemiology sponsored by National Natural Science Foundation of China

目的对国家自然科学基金委员会立项资助的传染病流行病学研究课题进行分析,了解研究热点和发展方向,以期为该领域的科研工作者提供参考。方法基于国家自然科学基金委员会提供的数据库,筛选1987-2014年立项且申报方向为传染病流行病学(H2609)的课题,分析资助数量、资助额度、研究领域的变化规律。结果 1987-2014年国家自然科学基金委员会共资助373项传染病流行病学研究课题,其中面上项目228项(61.1%),青年基金78项(20.9%),其他67项(18.0%)。单项资助额度最高800万元,最低2万元,平均35.82万元。主要资助方向为感染及免疫机制研究(36.2%)和人群流行病学研究(33.0%)。资助数量居前3位的疾病为肝炎、HIV/AIDS和结核,分别占26.3%、11.8%和8.8%。结论国家自然科学基金对传染病流行病学研究的资助数量和资助额度持续增加,为培养传染病防制领域的科研人才挥了积极作用。

Objective To analyze the projects on the infectious disease epidemiology sponsored by the National Natural Science Foundation of China（NSFC）,explore the hotspot and development trend,and offer a reference for researchers in this field. Methods Based on the NSFC database,the projects on the infectious disease epidemiology（H2609）sponsored from1987 to 2014 were analyzed. The changes of fund numbers,amounts and research fields were described. Results During the study period,NSFC sponsored 373 projects,including 228 general projects（61.1%）,78 youth projects（20.9%）and 67 other projects（18.0%）. The average amount of the grant was 358.2 thousand Yuan（20 thousand-8 million）. The main sponsored research fields were mechanisms of pathogen and immunity（36.2%）and population-based epidemiological studies（33.0%）. The top three diseases were hepatitis,HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis. Conclusion The amount of funding on researches of infectious disease epidemiology has increased continuously,which has played an important role in training scientific talents in the field of prevention and control of infectious diseases.
