Abstract：To enrich the research on the growth characteristics of young scientists in basic research,this article selects young scientists who have received funding from the National Key R&D Program of China from 2016 to 2023.The resume analysis method is used to investigate the characteristics of young scientists and their impact on growth.The paper finds that about 70% of young scientists who receive support hold professor titles.Heroic teenagers often emerge,but the proportion of female young scientists in the field of physics is relatively low.A good educational background and high-level supervisors can effectively accelerate the growth of young scientists,with up to 45% of them pursuing doctoral studies abroad in the field of mathematics.Overseas work,especially postdoctoral experience,is an important path for the growth of young scientists.The proportion of overseas work experience of more than 3 years is as high as 75%,and the average in the field of biology is relatively high.The study proposed strengthening cultivation,enhancing international cooperation,leveraging the role of high-level mentors and disciplinary differentiation management.
