Abstract: Data visualization plays a very important role for science fund management.However，current information management system of National Natural Science Foundation of China（NSFC） fails to portray the region distribution characters of science fund data.In this paper，a novel data visualization method is proposed which introduces Geographic Information Systems（GIS） techniques to NSFC management system.In particular，spatial statistics and expression mechanism are applied to achieve the optimal layout of science fund data.This empirical study shows that the proposed method is more effective and convenient for science fund management than the traditional methods.

摘要： 数据可视化在科学基金管理工作中起着非常关键的作用。当前国家自然科学基金委员会的信息管理系统所提供的功能尚不能描绘出全国科学基金管理数据的区域分布特征。提出了一种新颖的展示方法，即将地理信息系统（GIS）技术加入基金管理系统中。其中，空间统计及表达机制可以辅助科学基金数据的最优布局决策。实验证明，相比于传统的用于科学基金的展示方法，该方法更有效、更便捷。
