Abstract:This paper analyzed the application, acceptance, and review funding overview of Marine Science
and Polar Science (Application Code: D06) in 2025, summarized the project completion in 2024, and sorted out
and proposed the problems found in the project management process. Overall, the number of applications for
General Program, Less Developed Regions Fund, and Youth Science Fund Projects (Category C) continued to
grow in 2025, with a total of 3 528 proposals and an increase of 337 proposals compared with 2024. The number
of applying institutions was 497 with an increase of 98 compared with 2024. Regarding the completed projects,
the standardization of the completion reports for projects completed at the end of 2024 has improved, but some
projects still have problems such as inconsistent content between the published achievements and the research
goals in the proposal, and insufficient condensation of major achievements.
