In order to strengthen the development strategy of the discipline of geochemistry and optimize the frontier layout of the discipline， we summarized fund application， funding situation and preliminary review of projects managed by Division of Geochemistry， Department of Earth Sciences， National Natural Science Foundation of China. The results were： ①In 2021， the number of project applications for the discipline of geochemistry has increased significantly； ②Except for some projects that were not approved for preliminary review due to some problems， the rest of the projects passed the preliminary review；③The review rate of General Program， Young Scientists Fund and Fund for Less Developed Regions exceeded 145%； ④Through the two-year pilot of "responsible， creditworthy， and accountable for contributions"， the phenomenon of unreasonable refusal and the phenomenon of "changing the crown and wearing the crown" have been reduced； ⑤Significant progress was made in isotopic geochemistry， element geochemistry， geochronology， cosmology， and planetary chemistry in 2020.
