Abstract: OBJECTIVE To analysis 2018 pharmacology(H31) program of national natural science fund surface area concluding project, discusses the field on the fund’s development present situation and existing problems, especially the gap between different areas in the field of pharmacology research, different types of research institutions and research status of each branch in the field of providing reference for scientific workers in the field of pharmacology declare funds.METHODS Comprehensive retrieval science fund shared service network(http://npd.nsfc.gov.cn/), and access to pharmacological field in 2018, the national natural science fund project had been finished on the surface of all project information (including project name, branch, the title, a supporting institution, financing amount, project keywords, book number, patent number, number of reward, the number of published papers, the number was included in science citation index papers, Chinese science citation database, included paper number, cultivating graduate students). The paper analyzed the completed projects in different regions, the completed projects of different types of scientific research institutions and project leaders with different professional titles, as well as the results and benefits.RESULTS In 2018, there were 119 concluding projects in the general fund of the National Natural Science Foundation of China in the field of pharmacology, and the total funding for concluding projects was 84.38 million yuan. The final project focused on the eastern region. All the concluding items were classified according to the types of supporting institutions, among which 56 were supported by comprehensive universities. The analysis of the results conducted by project leaders with different professional titles showed that 89 of the 119 projects were completed by researchers with senior professional titles, and researchers with senior professional titles had certain advantages in the output of major achievements. The research directions of the concluded projects mainly focus on the pharmacology of anti-tumor drugs and neuropsychotropic drugs, among which there were 25 concluded projects in the pharmacology of anti-tumor drugs and 22 projects in the pharmacology of neuropsychotropic drugs.CONCLUSION With the support of the National Natural Science Foundation, the scientific research in pharmacology has achieved remarkable results. There is no significant difference in the output efficiency between the eastern and western regions and different types of scientific research institutions. There is no significant difference in the output efficiency of different types of supporting units. The output efficiency of senior scientific researchers has some advantages compared with that of intermediate scientific researchers. The field of pharmacology is relatively focused on the field of drugs for cancer and psychiatric diseases.
