There are several reasons for the difficulty in funding the Ministry of Education: 1. Judging from the passing rate, in 20021year, the number of projects applied by the Humanities and Social Sciences Fund of the Ministry of Education was 237 18, and the number of projects passed the evaluation was 3 128, with the passing rate of 13. 1%, which was relatively low.

2. In terms of reporting restrictions, the humanities and social sciences fund project "Table A" of the Ministry of Education has two word limits, which shall not exceed 800 words. Personal information of the applicant shall not appear in Form B, of which three items are limited to two pages and the fourth item is limited to 800 words. In addition, if the application for the humanities and social sciences fund project of the Ministry of Education has not been approved for two consecutive years, it may not be declared in the third year, which is more restrictive.

The humanities and social sciences fund project of the Ministry of Education belongs to the provincial and ministerial level projects, with the current planned project 10w and the youth project 8w.
