Based on the application and funding status of National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) in the field of oral and craniofacial sciences (H15), we analyzed the current status of basic research of the Oral and Craniofacial Sciences (OCS) in China, and provided the references for the sustainable and efficient funding of basic research and scientific frontier exploration in the field, supporting the construction of talents and teams, and enhancing the development of OCS in China. The data of both applied and funded grants of H15 in NSFC from 2010 to 2021 were analyzed, including the number of applications and funding, the amount of funding, the funding rate, the research direction and the supporting units. The status of basic research of H15 was summarized. From 2010 to 2021, H15 received 15 060 applications and funded 2 569 grants. The overall funding rate of H15 was 17.06%, and the total funding amount was 1 140.305 million yuan. The applications and funded projects of H15 were mainly focused on the General Projects and Youth Science Fund Projects, accounting for 90.33% (13 604/15 060) and 88.71% (2 279/2 569) of the total number of applications and funded projects, and 78.05% (89 002.5/114 030.5) of the total funding amount. In terms of talent training, the National Science Foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars received 65 applications, and 6 were founded, with a funding rate of 9.23%. The National Science Foundation for Outstanding Young Scholars received 85 applications, and 13 were founded, with a funding rate of 15.29%. In recent years, the number of applications has gradually increased and the number of grants has remained relatively stable. Among the nine sub-categories of H15, the top three in terms of the number of applications and grants were H1502, H1504, and H1507. H1502 (repair and regeneration of oral and craniofacial tissue and organ defects) received 2 760 applications, and 510 were funded. H1504 (periodontal and oral mucosal diseases) received 2 475 applications, and 419 were funded. H1507 (restoration of tooth defects and loss, and correction of dental deformities) received 2 270 applications, and 367 were funded. Peking University and Sichuan University ranked first and second with 1 092 and 1 001 applications, respectively. The top five recipients were Sichuan University (327 items), Peking University (260 items), Wuhan University (204 items), Shanghai Jiao Tong University (198 items) and the Fourth Military Medical University of the People's Liberation Army (193 items). The funding rates were 32.67%, 23.81%, 23.02%, 21.69% and 29.11%, respectively. Under the support of NSFC, the basic research of oral and craniofacial sciences has been developed in an all-round way. In recent years, the talent training of all echelons has increased year by year, the research direction and geographical coverage is comprehensive, and project support organization has its own research focus and discipline advantages, making contributions to the realization of the goal of healthy China and the progress of world medicine.
基于国家自然科学基金（NSFC）在口腔颌面科学领域（H15）的申请和资助情况，我们分析了我国口腔颌面科学（OCS）基础研究的现状，为该领域基础研究的可持续高效资助、科学前沿探索、人才和团队建设提供参考，推动我国OCS的发展。分析了2010年至2021年NSFC中H15的申请和资助项目数据，包括申请数量、资助数量、资助金额、资助率、研究方向和依托单位等，总结了H15基础研究的现状。2010年至2021年，H15共收到申请15060项，资助项目2569项。H15的总体资助率为17.06%，资助总额为11.40305亿元。H15的申请和资助项目主要集中在面上项目和青年科学基金项目，分别占申请总数和资助项目总数的90.33%（13604/15060）和88.71%（2279/2569），占资助总额的78.05%（89002.5/114030.5）。在人才培养方面，国家杰出青年科学基金收到申请65项，资助6项，资助率为9.23%。国家优秀青年科学基金收到申请85项，资助13项，资助率为15.29%。近年来，申请数量逐渐增加，资助项目数量相对稳定。在H15的9个亚类中，申请和资助项目数量排名前三的是H1502、H1504和H1507。H1502（口腔颌面组织器官缺损修复与再生）收到申请2760项，资助510项。H1504（牙周病与口腔黏膜病）收到申请2475项，资助419项。H1507（牙体缺损、缺失修复及牙颌畸形矫治）收到申请2270项，资助367项。北京大学和四川大学申请数量分别以1092项和1001项位居前两位。资助项目数量排名前五的是四川大学（327项）、北京大学（260项）、武汉大学（204项）、上海交通大学（198项）和中国人民解放军第四军医大学（193项），资助率分别为32.67%、23.81%、23.02%、21.69%和29.11%。在NSFC的支持下，口腔颌面科学基础研究得到全面发展。近年来，各层次人才培养逐年增加，研究方向和地域覆盖全面，项目依托单位有各自的研究重点和学科优势，为健康中国目标的实现和世界医学的进步做出了贡献。
