OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the predominance, characteristic and shortage of the scientific activities at the National Institute of Parasitic Diseases (NIPD), through analysis on its award-winning research achievements.


METHODS
Information was collected on the award-winning research achievements by the Institute in the last 45 years. Time trend, disease category, subject, award type, award grade, award level and project property of the award-winning research achievements were analyzed by using SPSS11.0 software.


RESULTS
Totally, 78 research achievements were awarded 128 times in the last 45 years. 43.6% awards were at province and ministry level; 23.1% awards were at nation level. Awards involved in schistosomiasis, malaria, and kala-azar accounted for 33.3%, 28.2% and 12.8%, respectively. As for subject, preventive medicine, pharmacy and biology accounted for 28.2%, 18.0% and 16.7%, respectively; 82.1% of the awards belonged to applied researches.


CONCLUSIONS
NIPD has a strong capacity in scientific research. To get more achievements in future, it is essential to closely integrate the experiment research to disease control.
