To analyze the projects on the infectious disease epidemiology sponsored by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), explore the hotspot and development trend, and offer a reference for researchers in this field.
Based on the NSFC database, the projects on the infectious disease epidemiology (H2609) sponsored from 1987 to 2014 were analyzed. The changes of fund numbers, amounts and research fields were described.
During the study period, NSFC sponsored 373 projects, including 228 general projects (61.1%), 78 youth projects (20.9%) and 67 other projects (18.0%). The average amount of the grant was 358.2 thousand Yuan (20 thousand-8 million). The main sponsored research fields were mechanisms of pathogen and immunity (36.2%) and population-based epidemiological studies (33.0%). The top three diseases were hepatitis, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis.
The amount of funding on researches of infectious disease epidemiology has increased continuously, which has played an important role in training scientific talents in the field of prevention and control of infectious diseases.
分析国家自然科学基金资助的传染病流行病学项目，探讨其研究热点与发展趋势，为该领域科研工作者提供参考。
基于国家自然科学基金数据库，对1987年至2014年资助的传染病流行病学（H2609）项目进行分析，描述资助项目数量、金额及研究领域的变化情况。
研究期间，国家自然科学基金共资助373项项目，其中面上项目228项（61.1%），青年科学基金项目78项（20.9%），其他项目67项（18.0%）。资助金额平均为35.82万元（20万元至800万元）。主要资助研究领域为病原体与免疫机制（36.2%）和基于人群的流行病学研究（33.0%）。资助项目涉及的前三位疾病为肝炎、艾滋病和结核病。
传染病流行病学研究的资助金额持续增长，对传染病防控领域科研人才培养发挥了重要作用。
