Zhang Zhihong, a biophysicist at Fudan University in China, receives millions in grants from China's state-run science institutions for his research into the biochemistry of cell membranes and type 2 diabetes. Zhang, like many of his peers in the life sciences, gets microgrants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) of about $25,000 (US) to support his own research interests. But Zhang has also received a grant of up to $4 million from the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) for his participation in China's $250 million proteomics project.
