To effectively prepare for the 2026 National Natural Science Foundation (NSFC) applications and further improve both submission rates and approval rates, the College of Mathematics and Physics held its 2026 NSFC Application Mobilization Meeting and Experience Sharing Exchange on January 7 at the Changping Campus. More than ten faculty members planning to submit applications attended the meeting, which was chaired by Associate Dean for Research Lin Chengyou.
At the meeting, Lin Chengyou provided a detailed overview of our university’s 2025 NSFC submission and approval statistics, and outlined the work plan for the 2026 application cycle. He highlighted the latest policy directives from the NSFC, the application procedures, and key points of attention, reminding applicants to stay informed about policy changes and to accurately grasp the application requirements. He also conducted a special session on research integrity, using typical cases as examples, and emphasized that research integrity is the lifeline of scientific work. He urged all applicants to strictly adhere to academic norms and resolutely prevent any misconduct.
To help applicants gain practical experience and improve their application quality, the meeting specially invited four faculty members who successfully secured NSFC General Program and Young Scientist Program grants in 2025 to share their experiences. Drawing on their own application journeys, the four speakers gave in depth and detailed presentations on topic selection, refining innovative points, writing skills for proposals, responding to review comments, and maintaining a positive mindset—offering valuable hands on guidance to the attendees. After the presentations, participants engaged in lively discussions and exchanges on various issues related to NSFC applications, creating a vibrant atmosphere.
This mobilization meeting promptly communicated the latest national NSFC policies, systematically clarified key application points, and provided strong guidance for faculty to complete high quality submissions. In the next phase, the College of Mathematics and Physics will continue to strengthen its organization and support services for NSFC applications, offering full process assistance to faculty and vigorously promoting the high quality development of scientific research within the college.
