  Abstract: Objective: To describe research project and funding of health policy and systems research (HPSR), analyze the existing challenges, and provide suggestions for promoting the development of HPSR capacity in China. Methods: Questionnaire, in-depth interview and public data collation were used to collect data. We analyzed the current status of research project and finding of HPSR research institutions from the aspects of the quantity, distribution, topics of research projects, quantity, distribution and sources of fuinding and funding management mechanism. We also analyzed the funding of the National Natural Science Foundation of China in HPSR form the aspects of quantity, topics and and distribution. Results: The average annual research funding of each surveyed HPSR research institution from 2015 to 2017 was 5.29 million yuan, with the minimum of 100,000 yuan, the maximum of 6.019 million yuan, and the median of 2.7333 million yuan. The average annual number of research projects carried out by each research institution from 2015 to 2017 was 26.25, and the main topics of research projects were health financing, service delivery and health workforce. 63.16% of research institutions received more domestic funding than international funding, and 44.23% of the total research funding was from government. Research funding of the institutions are usually managed by the financial management departments of the institutions at the next higher level through the budget and final accounts mechanism. As for the National Natural Science Foundation of China, from 2008 to 2017, a total of 116 institutions received funding, with an average number of 4.81 projects for each institution and an average amount of 1.6906 million yuan for each institution. And the main topic of research projects from National Natural Science Foundation of China was health service delivery. Conclusion: HPSR research projects and funding in China grew rapidly in the past decade, but the research projects and funding wereas mainly concentrated in research institutions in developed regions. International funding for HPSR research showed a downward trend in China, resulting in an increasing proportion in domestic funding. While the funding management regulations gradually adjusted according to the HPSR research characteristics, there were still differences in implementing such adjusted regulations among different institutions.
