The "US Funded Chinese Defense Research Tracker" is a specialized tool designed to monitor and provide transparency regarding research activities funded by the United States with Chinese defense institutions. This tool compiles and displays information on research projects, publications, and funders associated with US funding sources and their affiliations with Chinese institutions. By offering a comprehensive overview of such research endeavors, it serves as a valuable resource for analysts, policymakers, and researchers interested in understanding the dynamics of US-funded defense research collaborations in China, promoting accountability, and facilitating informed decision-making in the realm of international research partnerships and security studies.
This tool filters on People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and Seven Sons of National Defence Universities S&T publications while connected with US funding. Primarily US defense funding. When you enter an institution in the affiliations filter, the second table updates to show the most frequently mentioned authors from that institution, ranked by their appearance count in the publications. NOTE: The initial “All Agencies” filter is focused on US DoD funders. Additional funders will be added in the dropdown.
