This paper focus on the performance of CPSF on promoting the growth of talented youth and carry out evaluation from the following aspects: 1. Verify the function of CPSF on stabilize the postdoctoral team, provide "first bucket of gold" and promote talents growth via funding statistical analysis and the subsequent growth condition of grantees; 2. Demonstrate the CPSF facilitate the grantees with extracting the research direction of scientist and lay the foundation for subsequent research results via the tracking of current situation and bibliometric analysis of first batch grantees.
