Abstract: Nowadays, the National Natural Science Foundation of China(NSFC) is facing the situation of high performance pressure. As the lagging effect of the NSFC projects performance and the extending grant period of project (such as the General Projects), the significance of project implementation for the funding performance is increasingly prominent. Hence, there is an urgent need for improving the ongoing projects management. To promote the funding performance, the management of NSFC ongoing projects can resort to the quality accountability of projects. However, the current situation of the ongoing projects management can hardly cover all the demands of project quality in terms of accountability. And occasionally, the cognitive strategies which adopted by project groups to cope with the accountability are also disadvantageous to the NSFC funding performance. So, this paper constructed a management mechanism of NSFC ongoing projects from the perspective of the quality accountability, in order to improve the current project management and enhance the NSFC funding performance.
