摘要目的 探讨国家自然科学基金(NSFC)资助对我国眼科学学科发展的作用.方法 收集1986至2010年NSFC对眼科学的资助数量和经费情况、论文发表和获奖情况、人才培养和学科建设情况等,并汇总NSFC资助对眼科学获得其他重要资助的支持情况.结果 1986至2010年,NSFC共资助593项眼科学研究项目,资助总金额为15 244万元,其中面上项目371项、青年科学基金项目156项、重点项目9项、国家杰出青年基金项目5项、重大国际合作项目3项、创新研究群体项目1项、其他项目48项.25年间,获得NSFC资助的眼科学项目数量在生命科学部(医学科学部)项目中所占份额呈总体上升趋势.对2002至2010年间186项结题项目(占结题总量292项的63.7％)进行统计,共在美国科学引文索引(SCI)收录刊物上发表论文262篇,在国内刊物发表论文442篇.受NSFC资助者获得国家科技进步奖二等奖8项、国家技术发明奖1项.截至2010年,共培养博士后42名、博士研究生414名、硕士研究生621名,建成国家重点学科5个、国家重点实验室1个.眼科学目前获得国家科技部“973”课题2项、国家卫生部公益行业基金1项,2人被聘为国家教育部“长江学者”.结论 NSFC在其成立的25年间,对眼科学进行了全方位稳定增长的连续资助,取得了丰硕的研究成果,有力推动了我国眼科学学科的蓬勃发展.

abstractsObjective To analyze the role of National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) on the development of the discipline of Ophthalmology from 1986 to 2010.Methods Data on the total number of projects and funding of NSFC allocated to Ophthalmology,as well as papers published,awards,personnel training,subject construction were collected,and the role of NSFC on other sources of funding was evaluated.Results From 1986 to 2010,NSFC supported a total of 593 scientific research projects of Ophthalmology,funding a total amount of 152.44 million Yuan,among which were 371 free application projects,156 Young Scientist Funds,9 Key Programs,5 National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars,3 Major international (regional) joint research programs,1 Science Fund for Creative Research Group and 48 other projects.Over the past 25 years,the number of NSFC projects received by Ophthalmology has been an overall upward trend in the share in the Department of Life (Health) Sciences.Take the projects ( 186 of 292,63.7％ ) as examples completed between 2002 and 2010,a total 262 papers were published in Science Citation Index (SCI) included journals and 442 papers were published in Chinese journals.Meanwhile,8 Second prizes of National Science and Technology Progress Award and 1 State Technological Invention Award were received. As of 2010,the training of a total of more than 40 postdoctoral,more than 400 doctoral students and more than 600 graduate students have been completed.5 national key disciplines and 1 national key laboratory have been built.Moreover,2 “973” programs from Ministry of Science and Technology and 1 project of special fund in the public interest from Ministry of Public Health were obtained.2 scholars were among the list of Yangtze Fund Scholars granted by Ministry of Education.Conclusions Over the past 25 years,a full range of continuous funding from NSFC has led to fruitful results and a strong impetus to the progress of discipline of Ophthalmology.
