Abstract

Based on the phenomena related with “power-orientated” culture, a hypothesis that a scientist would receive more scientific resources after his academic status raised is made. The information about the academicians of Chinese Academy of Sciences who represented the highest academic status in science community of China is collected, and also the scientific resources by the number of research programs that they received annually from the National Science Foundation of China are measured. According to the characteristics of the data, Wilcoxon test is adopted to examine the relationship between them, and the result in detail didn’t show much influence as expected. However, in general, it is drown the conclusion that academic status does matter in the process of distributing funding resources. Then some explanations on the result are given and the further directions for this research are pointed out as well.

Key words
