The Division Ⅴ (Atmospheric Sciences Discipline) of the Department of Earth Sciences, National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), has successfully completed the application, mail review, panel review, and funding results summary for the General Program, Young Scientists Fund (C), and Fund for Less Developed Regions in 2025. The total number of applications for the above three types of projects in the discipline of atmospheric sciences from 2020 to 2025 has shown a continuous increase trend. Among them, a total of 2, 436 applications are received in 2025, showing an increase of 5.4% compared with 2024. The comprehensive scores of the mail reviews for these three types of projects have slightly decreased compared with previous years. To encourage high-risk and high-value fundamental research and explore the selection and funding model for the “non-consensus projects”, the Atmospheric Sciences Discipline has, for the first time, nominated the “non-consensus projects” to undergo the panel review process. Considering the overall layout of the discipline, it is encouraged to moderately tilt towards the Supporting Technology and development fields (secondary application codes D0508 to D0514). Under the equal conditions, preference is given to female applicants. After the panel review, the Atmospheric Science Discipline has funded a total of 419 projects in the above three categories, with an average funding rate of 17.2%. In 2024, a total of 383 projects of these three types are concluded, and the indicators such as the number of publications is basically the same as those in 2023.
