Abstract：In the stage of high-quality development, “innovation driven”is a national strategy.Government financial support plays an important role in R&D in key technology fields and the construction of scientific and technological innovation centers.The allocation of financial funds is competitive,and the investment in science and technology also needs to be evaluated.To reasonably evaluate the impact of science funds on academic output,we should not only look at the role of the project during the funding period,but also consider the incentive effect before the application and the continuous effect after the completion of the project.The research uses the multi period DID isochronous double difference method to explore the role of NSFC projects in the quantity,quality and academic influence of academic output.It is found that the project funding effect is more obvious in 1～10 years after funding.The improvement of quality is more significant in 6～10 years after the grant,and the improvement of academic influence is more obvious in the grant period (1～5 years).Outstanding young scholars have significant application effect and assessment effect in the process of applying for projects.There are obvious disciplinary differences in the impact of NSFC projects on academic output.Therefore,some suggestions are put forward,such as reasonably lengthening the scientific research evaluation cycle,changing the funding mode of basic research,and encouraging enterprises and public welfare funds to invest in basic research.
