The National Key R&D Program, and specific grant numbers thereof, are frequently acknowledged in research papers. But finding information beyond the grant numbers is difficult. There's no central public source of grant metadata such as the title, the name of the principal investigator, the start and end dates, and the funding amount. MERICS has published at least one report with aggregate statistics about Key R&D projects (https://merics.org/en/report/controlling-innovation-chain#2-research-project...) but apparently the sources of data they used are no longer available.
But sometimes information about grants gets out through other sources. An example is grant number 2023YFB3106700, which appears in the CV of a researcher named Cao Jie with start and end dates that the English title "Research on Generalized Security Theory for Dark Web Suppression".

Research on Generalized Security Theory for Dark Web Suppression Nov. 2013 – Dec. 2024 Researcher, National Key R&D Program of China (Key Special Program), Grant No. 2023YFB3106700
I thought maybe this research was related to https://jsuese.scu.edu.cn/en/article/doi/10.12454/j.jsuese.202400800/ but I did not find Cao Jie's name or contact cited as either an author or referenced. However, its similar enough to suggest there might be a relationship.
