28 projects approved: XJTLU achieves record high in NSFC grants for 2024
03 Sep 2024
The National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) recently revealed that Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University has secured approval for 28 projects, with a total of 11.6 million RMB in direct funding. This marks a historic high in both the number of projects approved and the amount of funding.
This is also the first time XJTLU has been awarded funding in the Research Fund for International Senior Scientists and the Research Fund for International Excellent Young Scientists categories.
Additionally, 10 general projects and 16 Young Scientist Fund projects have been approved.
Professor Zhoulin Ruan, Vice President of Academic Affairs, says: “XJTLU is dedicated to advancing high-quality scientific research, placing great emphasis on the organisation and application of National Natural Science Foundation projects and government research projects at all levels.”
Professor Fei Ma, Associate Vice President of Research and Impact, says: “Our University’s approved projects this year span across the seven scientific departments of the National Natural Science Foundation, showcasing the balanced and comprehensive development of XJTLU’s disciplines.”
To support XJTLU’s staff in the effective management of research projects, XJTLU’s Research Management Office has created a strategy that focuses on encouraging researchers to start their applications early, supporting researchers throughout the whole application process, and strengthening supervision.
