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 (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 467 with an increase of 58 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.
