China selects first recipients of 15-year research mega grants
Original: China picks first researchers for 15-year mega grants https:// lemmy.zip/post/73578916
China has chosen the first group of researchers to receive its newly created 15-year mega grants, an unusually long funding horizon meant to let scientists pursue ambitious work without constant renewal pressure. The programme marks a shift toward stable, long-term support for basic research, and observers are watching whether the model will be adopted elsewhere.
Why now: Long-duration research funding is rare, so the first selections signal how China plans to support ambitious basic science.
