We summarized the application, peer review, and acceptance of projects managed by Division of Geochemistry (D03), Department of Earth Sciences, National Natural Science Foundation of China in 2022, and introduced the research advances of completed projects in 2021. The results are: ① In 2022， the number of project applications for the discipline of geochemistry remains constant; ② The application formats have been improved and the rates of applications passing preliminary examination are significantly higher than ever before; ③ The submission rates of the General Program, Young Scientists Fund and Fund for Less Developed Regions
exceed 143.5%; ④ By piloting the mechanism of “Responsibility, Credibility, Contribution” within three years, the Division of Geochemistry has recorded the attitude, justice and contributions of ca. 2000 peer-review experts, in order to explore how to better play the central role of peer-review in funding decisions;⑤ Significant progress have been made in Isotopic Geochemistry, Elemental Geochemistry, Geochronology, and Cosmochemistry in 2021.
