Abstract: For the need of revealing the structure and dynamics of science, 
text mining technologies have been widely used in extracting technical 
intelligence from research literature. To analyze the status of research 
fields, this paper applies text clustering to Chinese national science 
research proposals. By using vector-space model to represent the 
proposals, an improved Newman fast clustering algorithm has been carried 
out to explore the clusters of each year, which indicate the yearly 
research fields. After that, the paper gives an insightful representation 
of the whole status of the research fields. Then the similarities of 
clusters of different years are calculated to discover the groups, which 
identify the major research fields and illustrate their stability and 
changes over the time. These analyses will be helpful to discover the 
development trends of basic research fields.
