From a paper by Zhang Zhifei, ''Strengthening Coordination for More Effective Funding for IGBP,'' presented at the IGBP Regional Meeting for Asia, February 1991. [This list is not comprehensive of all global change research being undertaken nor of the research described in this report.] 2. NSFC projects are divided into three categories: general, key, and major. General projects receive relatively small grants, and awards deliberately support the widest range possible of ideas, people, and geographical location. General projects usually receive between 60,000 ($11,000) and 70,000 ($12,700) yuan over 3 years. Key projects are selected from the general pool of applications for their academic significance and for their potential applications. Key project funding is usually between 500,000 ($91,000) and 700,000 ($127,000) yuan for 3 years. Major projects are comprehensive topics selected for their importance to the development of science and to Chinese economic development goals. Funding levels begin at 2 million yuan ($364,000) for 5 years.
