AI 中文总结
该研究以NSERC资助的NSE领域为对象，分析资助分布随时间的变化，发现纯科学与数学资助减少、社会科学和医学科学资助增长，为资助机构优化资源分配政策提供参考。
AI 中文摘要
资助机构旨在最大化其分配资源的科学产出，这一目标可能会无意间强化资助体系内的累积优势。本研究聚焦自然科学与工程（NSE）领域，考察加拿大研究资助的时间分布，特别关注某些学科成为新兴或高增长领域的程度，而其他学科则经历相对停滞或衰退。结果表明，近年来许多获得资助减少的研究学科群体集中在纯科学和数学领域。相比之下，社会科学和医学科学最初每份资助申请的平均资助额相对较低，但随着时间推移呈现出资助增长的趋势。这些发现为资助机构设计促进更有效和公平的资源分配政策提供了宝贵见解。
英文摘要
Funding agencies aim to maximize scientific output from the resources they allocate, a goal that may inadvertently reinforce cumulative advantage within funding systems. Focusing on research areas within Natural Sciences and Engineering (NSE), this study examines the distribution of Canadian research funding over time, with particular attention to the extent to which certain subjects gain prominence as emerging or high-growth fields, while others experience relative stagnation or decline. The results indicate that many research subject groups receiving decreased funding in recent years are concentrated in the pure sciences and mathematics. In contrast, social sciences and medical sciences, which initially had relatively low average funding per grant application, have demonstrated increasing funding trends over time. These findings offer valuable insights for funding agencies seeking to design policies that promote more effective and equitable allocation of resources.
