Abstract
The National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) plays an important role in supporting scientific research. A descriptive study was performed to understand the situation supported by the NSFC in a comprehensive teaching hospital during 2011 to 2019. The relevant situation was statistically analyzed during 2011-2019, including the amount of applications and grant, funding rate, and appropriation.During the past 9 years, the total funding rate of the science foundation was 14.29% (51/357), with a total appropriation of 189.485 ten thousands Yuan.In the past 9 years, the number of funding applications and the number of project approval showed an overall trend of fluctuation, with the project funding rate between 7.69% and 27.27%, and showed no  significant changing trend in the funding rate during 2011- 2019 (χ2trend=0.54, P=0.464). We found that the approval rates of male (16.30%) and doctoral applicants (20.98%) were significantly higher than those of female (7.41%) and non-doctoral applicants (5.26%). Hospital need to introduce doctoral talents, increase investment in scientific research, and improve the motivation of medical staff to apply for the NSFC.

Summary
The National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) plays an important role in supporting scientific research (Lei et al, 2019; Liu et al, 2019), which is a driving force for the improvement of National scientific and technological level and the original innovation of knowledge, and one of the main channels for supporting basic research in China. This paper systematically reviewed the application and project approval of the National Natural Science Foundation of the hospital in the past nine years (2011-2019), conducted statistical analysis on the gender of the project leader, degree and project category, and introduced the relevant experience and measures of the hospital from the aspects of application mobilization, talent team construction, and relevant management policies
