Abstract:

In this paper, programs in field of animal reproduction of the National Natural Science Foundation of China from 2012 to 2016 were searched using Internet-based Science Information System (ISIS). Analyses were carried out according to number of proposals and funds, supporting institutions, principle investigators, research objects and content. The results showed that number of General Programs funded increased significantly during the last 5 years. Principle investigators of General Programs were mostly senior title, while principle investigators of Young Scientists Fund were mostly middle rank title. Most principal investigators had doctorate degrees. The main bodies of the supporting institutions were universities. Research objects were focused on livestock, and research content was focused on ovarian function, oocyte maturation and somatic cell nuclear transfer. Omics technologies have been the most important methods used in basic research in animal reproduction field. Epigenetic mechanism of animal reproduction is the hotspot in the current research.
