The National Natural Science Foundation of China recently announced the evaluation results of the 2019 project applications. The International Campus achieved gratifying results with 12 projects approved in total, including 7 general projects, 4 projects for young scholars, and 1 project for international young scientists.
The International Campus faculty team continues to expand. 33 projects were submitted to the National Natural Science Foundation of China in March 2019, which is nearly three times the number submitted last year. The funding rates (the proportion of approved projects for the number of declared projects) for the general projects and projects for young scholars are 53.8% and 36.4% respectively, which are much higher than the national average funding rates (20.46% for the general projects and 20.54% for the projects for young scholars).
The 12 projects approved this year involve multiple research areas, including micro-nano technology, new material structures, computer vision, drug delivery and sustained release, microwave circuits and devices, bridge engineering, tumors and metabolism, and epigenetics. There are both basic and applied research projects, and many of them are interdisciplinary research projects. Several projects are related to international cooperation, for example Prof. Yang Liangjing from Singapore received international young scientists research funding, Prof. Mikael Bjorklund from Finland received general project research funding, the project hosted by Prof. Shao Fangwei is in cooperation with Nanyang Technological University of Singapore, and a foreign postdoctoral researcher participates in the project hosted by Prof. Hu Huan.
