Abstract:

Since 2010, veterinary science became an independent discipline from a branch of integrative animal husbandry and aquatics discipline in Natural Science system of China. Accordingly, financing scope of veterinary science was adjusted. Due to multiple reasons such as the enhancing intensity of finance, the increasing attention to basic research etc., application number of National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) increased significantly. In this paper, we summarized and analyzed the application and finance situation of general program, young program and region program in veterinary science section in fiscal years 2010-2012 to provide reference data for researchers in veterinary or related fields in application of NSFC.
