Abstract

This study aimed to summarize the current situation and deficiencies of the fundamental research on pediatric otolaryngology-head and neck science. It is hoped that the results can provide support for the long-term development of the basic research on this subject. Information concerning the applications to and funding from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) for otolaryngology-head and neck from 2009 to 2019 was collected and analyzed. In the past 10 years, pediatric otolaryngology-head and neck science received 150 applications, accounting for 2.92% of all applications for otolaryngology-head and neck science. Ultimately, 20 projects were funded, accounting for 2.17% of all the funded projects. There were 88 applications for children's ear science and hearing-related research, accounting for 58.67% of the applications for pediatric otolaryngology-head and neck science. Furthermore, 14 approved grants focused on cochlear implants and the genetics and mechanisms of deafness. There were 25 applications related to children's nasal science, particularly allergic rhinitis, accounting for 16.67% of the total applications. Of these, 4 applications were funded, and these mainly focused on the disease regulation and...Continue Reading
