Chapter 668: How to Apply for Funds

The First Hospital of Shanghai.

The dormitory building for doctoral students.

Lu Chen and Lin Shumin sat side by side, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn.

After a while.

Lin Shumin sighed slightly, "Lu Chen, I'm sorry, I was too impatient about this matter."

He knew that he was to blame for this matter.

He worked hard in the clinic in the first two years of his doctoral degree and didn't care about his graduation.

He trusted his mentor too much.

Now, he was a little anxious to put his hopes on Lu Chen.

But Lu Chen's R&D team was his last straw.

"Brother, I understand." Lu Chen comforted, "After the project book on my side is perfected, I will start the experiment as soon as possible."

"Okay." Lin Shumin nodded, "If you need any help, just come to me."

Lu Chen smiled, "There is really one thing that needs your help."

"What is it?" Lin Shumin said seriously.

Now the matter about Lu Chen's experiment is his biggest matter, and his girlfriend and other things have to stand aside!

"Actually, it's about the application for the project fund." Lu Chen thought for a while, "Because I'm still a doctoral student, my actual academic qualification is only a master's degree, so I can't apply for many funds. Brother, you've been in the hospital for two or three years, I want to ask, what funds can a doctoral student like me apply for."

Large-scale scientific research projects like Lu Chen's definitely need the support of funds.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to complete it with personal resources alone.

As far as Lu Chen knows, the application threshold for national funds, such as the National Natural Science Foundation, etc., all require a doctoral degree.

Previously, Lu Chen's research funds were applied for by his tutor Li Yao, and everything was in Li Yao's name.

This time, Lu Chen couldn't let Zhang Shuqing apply.

He had just rejected Zhang Shuqing before.

More importantly, Lu Chen wanted to be truly independent!

Lin Shumin was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a long time, he slowly said: "I definitely can't apply for national-level projects. It's mainly some provincial and municipal projects, such as those from the Department of Education and the Department of Science and Technology. You can try these. I remember a very outstanding doctoral senior from my last class, he applied for a fund project from the Department of Education."

"Okay, thank you, senior." Lu Chen smiled.

"Why thank me, I didn't solve any problems." Lin Shumin scratched his head, "As for the details of the fund application, you may need to go to the corresponding official website to find it. I will continue to help you ask here."

"Yeah." Lu Chen nodded.

Things always come step by step.

Let alone the National Natural Science Foundation projects, some provincial and municipal projects are also the targets of many scientific researchers.

However, Lu Chen is still quite confident about these provincial and municipal projects.

With his previous experience in participating in the National Natural Science Foundation projects in Jinghua, and the current popularity of tavr surgery, he is absolutely confident that he can apply.

The most common problem now is identity!

If Lu Chen graduated with a doctorate degree now, many things would be easy to handle.

Lu Chen could even try to get a national-level project fund.

Now he could only try to get those provincial and municipal projects.

…

After Lin Shumin left.

Lu Chen first saved the word document of the project book, and then opened the network of the Education Department and the Science and Technology Department.

He found the column of the fund project and began to study it carefully.

On the other side, after Lin Shumin left Lu Chen's dormitory.

He also began to ask some classmates in the laboratory, and even asked some senior brothers and sisters who had graduated, about the application of funds for doctoral students.

"Lao Lin, why are you asking this now?"

Dr. Shen Wenbo, a cardiologist who shared the same dormitory with Lin Shumin, looked at Lin Shumin with a puzzled look.

"Don't tell me that you are trying to apply for a fund project at the last minute?"

Shen Wenbo knew that Lin Shumin was worried about graduation.

He couldn't sleep every day and his hair fell out in clumps.

But applying for a fund project now, isn't that just a desperate attempt?

It's rare for a PhD student to be able to apply for a fund project!

"No, it's a friend of mine, I asked for help." Lin Shumin said quickly.

He hasn't announced that he has joined Lu Chen's research team yet.

"You're making a friend out of nothing, right?" Shen Wenbo curled his lips.

Lin Shumin: "..."

There's really no way to communicate.

When outsiders hear him asking about this, they will subconsciously think that he applied for it himself, and they can't help but make some sarcasm.

However, in order to help Lu Chen and himself, Lin Shumin doesn't care about the opinions of outsiders.

Shen Wenbo saw that Lin Shumin didn't say anything, and he felt a little sympathetic for him.

It's actually very stressful to delay graduation for a PhD.

This may not be a matter of delaying for one or two years. If there is no suitable project, it is possible to just keep dragging it out.

Shen Wenbo also knew that Lin Shumin was not from a wealthy family.

It's not easy for the whole family to support a PhD.

In their entire village, there is only one doctor named Lin Shumin.

"Old Lin, I'm sorry, my words just now were a bit harsh." Shen Wenbo said, "Let me ask my senior brother who graduated for you. It seems that he successfully applied for a fund project when he was studying for his doctorate."

"Really?" Lin Shumin's depressed expression immediately disappeared, and turned into excitement, "Wenbo, thank you so much!"

"Stop!" Shen Wenbo shrugged his shoulders, "Don't be too happy too early, wait for me to finish asking."

"Okay." Lin Shumin kept rubbing the corners of his clothes with both hands.

This matter finally has some clues.

...

The First Hospital of Magic City.

Ward 1 of the Department of Cardiology.

Lu Chen had just finished his rounds with his interns and graduate students in the morning when he received a call from Lin Shumin.

"Why are you calling me so early in the morning?"

Confused, Lu Chen still answered the phone.

"Lu Chen, I found out about the fund application!" Lin Shumin's voice came from the phone.

Lu Chen's face lit up, "Brother, take your time, there's no rush."

"It's like this, I asked my roommate to ask a brother who applied for a project before." Lin Shumin continued, "He applied for a fund project of the Education Department of Demon City. In addition to passing the project content, the most important thing is to have a recommendation from the hospital!"

"What recommendation?" Lu Chen asked in confusion.

"It means that your mentor, UU reading www.uuｋａnshu.ｎet and the head of the department or the hospital will guarantee your project fund and recommend it directly to the Education Department or the Science and Technology Department." Lin Shumin said, "In this way, as a doctoral student, you are eligible to obtain a fund project! Otherwise, with our current status, it is difficult to apply for a fund project."

"Okay, senior brother."

"No trouble, I can help you."

Lin Shumin's news pointed out a direction for Lu Chen.

However, he also keenly caught one point.

With their current status, it is difficult to apply for a fund project.

It's just difficult, not impossible.

Competition in Magic City Hospital is fierce. If there are not enough recommended positions, Lu Chen still needs to rely on himself.
