National Natural Science Foundation of China leads the comprehensive development of basic research in the field of male reproductive health in China

摘要

“Reproductive health” was officially defined as humans and their individual activities related to reproduction throughout their lives, which should be in good health in physical, psychological, and social aspects.1 The basic research on male reproductive health in China can be traced back to the 1960s.2 Since the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) began systematic support for basic research on male reproductive health in 1988, the field has been systematically developed in China. In this regard, we analyze the role of the NSFC on the development of basic research in the field of male reproductive health in China.
