Several static and dynamic network analysis methods were applied to the data for 20 years to explore the fine structure of the researcher¡¯s network for grants. Our analysis shows that the long-term trend of researchers¡¯ group sizes has become smaller, particularly rapidly decreasing in recent years. Some findings on researcher behavior in joining a project have also been reported. %K Scientific Research Fund %K Network Analysis %K Power Law %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=126591
