We summarized the application, peer review, and acceptance of projects managed by the Division of Geochemistry (D03), Department of Earth Sciences, National Natural Science Foundation of China in 2022 and introduced the research advances of projects completed in 2021. The results were as follows: \mathrm{①} The number of project applications for the discipline of geochemistry remained constant in 2022; \mathrm{②} The application formats have improved, while the rates of applications passing preliminary examination were significantly higher than ever before; \mathrm{③} The submission rates in the General Program, Young Scientists Fund, and Less Developed Regions Fund exceeded 143.5%; \mathrm{④} By piloting the mechanism of "Responsibility, Credibility, Contribution" for three years, the Division of Geochemistry has recorded the attitudes, fairness, and contributions of approximately 2000 peer-review experts, in order to explore ways to better play the central role of peer-review in funding decisions; \mathrm{⑤} A significant progress has been made in Isotopic Geochemistry, Elemental Geochemistry, Geochronology, and Cosmochemistry in 2021.
