Abstract: The national natural science fund is an important part of the national innovation system, which is used to support basic research and some applied research of natural science. Beijing University of Chemical Technology is a high-level university that aims to develop chemical talent at the cutting-edge of science and technology. The university was established in 1958 and formerly known as Beijing Institute of Chemical Technology. As a national key university directly affiliated to the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China, and as one of the Project 211 universities and 985 Project Innovation Platforms, Beijing University of Chemical Technology has responsibilities for basic and applied scientific research; original, high-tech development; and the training of high-level, innovative talent. With 60 years of history, Beijing University of Chemical Technology has become a multi-disciplinary university with a solid foundation in science and engineering, as well as other distinctive disciplines such as management, economics, law, literature, education, philosophy, medical sciences. Under the situation of the reform of the national scientific and technological system and the construction of “world-class universities and world-class disciplines”, the National Natural Science Foundation of China has become an important support for fundamental research and one of the main channels for scientific research funds of Beijing University of Chemical Technology. It has played an important role in many aspects，such as encouraging original innovation, yielding achievements, training talents, output of achievements and promoting the construction of interdisciplinary disciplines. The basic research work of Beijing University of Chemical Technology has obtained rapid development in the past years with the support of National Natural Science Foundation of China. On the 60th anniversary of the establishment of Beijing University of Chemical Technology, based on the database of Beijing University of Chemical Technology for application and funding of National Natural Science Foundation of China from 2003-2017. This article analyzed the projects of Beijing University of Chemical Technology applied for and funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China during the past 15 years. It mainly focused on the analysis of the number, funding, types, departments and disciplines of projects funded of the projects funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China as well as the age, degree, educational background and professional title of the project managers. At the same time, this paper reviews the project management of the National Natural Science Foundation of Beijing Chemical University in the past 15 years, and analyses the application management, execution process management, final acceptance management, project fund management, balance fund management and archives filing management of the projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China,and summarizes the achievements, experiences and short-comings during National Natural Science Foundation of China projects management. The aim of this study is to explore the effective of National Natural Science Foundation of China in Beijing University of Chemical Technology and to provide consultation for establishment of university scientific development strategy and scientific policy. And some suggestions are made on continuous development of basic scientific researches， so as to advance effectively the application and management of NSFC in Beijing University of Chemical Technology .

Key words: NSFC, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, scientific research management
