Objective To test the practical effect of the research projects outpatient strategy for application of the Na-tional Natural Science Foundation(NSFC)in a hospital of Chinese medicine.Methods We compared the number and success rate of the National Natural Science Foundation of China grant awards before and after the implementation of the research pro-jects outpatient strategy,and further analyzed the promotional effect of the research projects outpatient strategy on general pro-grams and youth scientists funds through univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression.Results Since the implemen-tation of the research projects outpatient strategy,both the number of NSFC grant awards and the success rate continuously in-creased,indicating that the strategy played a positive role in improving the overall success rate of the hospital.However,this effect was primarily reflected in the assistance provided to applications for youth scientists funds.The main favorable factor for winning general programs was the applicant's preliminary foundation.Applicants who have previously received NSFC funding had a higher success rate.Conclusions The strategy of research projects outpatient can promote the winning of NSFC youth scientists funds.
