1.3 The types of projects that receive applications in this centralized way include: general projects, key projects, some major research projects, youth science fund projects, outstanding youth research fund projects, national outstanding youth science fund projects, innovative research group projects, basic science center projects, some joint fund projects, national major scientific research instrument development projects (free application), mathematics Tianyuan fund and key international (regional) cooperative research projects, etc.

Other types of projects that are not in the scope of centralized application will be published separately. For international (regional) cooperation and exchange projects that accept applications at any time, applicants should avoid the centralized receiving period and submit applications.

1.4 Applicants who are not employed by Jilin University are not allowed to apply for the National Natural Science Foundation of China based on Jilin University.

Those who have obtained doctoral degrees and intend to stay in school and those who intend to work in school through the introduction of talent channels can apply for general projects and youth science fund projects with the approval of middle-level units. At the same time, the middle-level unit shall provide explanations (the natural condition of the person, whether he passed the examination of the middle-level unit, the signing time of personnel employment procedures, relevant commitments, etc.) as the basis for signing the written contract (see Annex 3 for the template).

2.1 After the implementation of classified review of general projects and key projects, the Youth Fund will be included in the pilot scope of classified review. The applicant shall, according to the scientific problems and research contents to be solved, select the attributes of a kind of scientific problems that are most in line with, focus on and best reflect the characteristics of the application project, and clarify the reasons.

2.2 The outstanding youth research fund project and the national outstanding youth science fund project continue to implement the policy of coordinating and connecting with other national science and technology plans for talents. The national science and technology talents plan at the same level can only apply for or undertake one item, and cannot apply at the opposite level. Moreover, the outstanding youth research fund project and the national outstanding youth science fund project use the "contract system", so there is no need to prepare a budget.

2.3 The application code should be completely adjusted, and the third-level code should be cancelled. The application code 1 and its corresponding "research direction" and "keywords" should be accurately selected, and the second-level application code (4 digits) should be selected as much as possible.
