Abstract: Citrus is one of the most important fruit trees in China. The projects funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China represent the current status and trends of some subject. In our studies, the projects funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China were searched using ISIS from 1997 to 2011 and analysed based on project number, project support organization, project application code and project leader. The results showed that citrus projects had increased. Among all projects, general project was one of the most primary types. Projects for youth and undeveloped areas had distinctiely. Citrus projects had mainly involved life science yield and covered in molecular biology. Citrus project support organization included all citrus main production provinces. Huazhong Agricultural University had been funded by most citrus projects. Young Scholars had 50% percent of project leaders. Almostly one third of leaders had been funded more than one times. Our studies would be helpful in learning status and trends of citrus in China and could be used as references for project application in the future.
