In recent years, our government ’s financial research funding has increased substantially year after year. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2012, China's total social research and experimental development funding totaled 1,029.84 billion yuan, an increase of 18.5%, ranking third in the world, and the investment intensity ranks among the leading developing countries.
However, the current situation that scientific research funding is not proportional to output and the efficiency of scientific research is worrying.
Yang Zhongyi, a professor at the School of Life Sciences at Sun Yat-sen University, told reporters from the First Financial Daily that although the management of scientific research funds has been gradually strengthened in recent years, the use efficiency of scientific research funds is still low. "Sometimes millions of people buy an instrument and put it aside for a few years. If it is almost out of use, it will be given to the enterprise. It is called cooperation with the enterprise." Yang Zhongyi also said that a lot of money was invested into "production". Papers that few people read are really sad.
Yang Zhongyi believes that the reform of the scientific research system should learn from abroad, and the main force of research and development should be enterprises, not universities and research institutes. There are two types of government funding: one is basic research and strategic research, such as supporting the construction and use of national laboratories; the other is related to public interests, such as health care and energy security. If it is only applied to scientific and technological research and development in the economic field, most of the work should be done by the enterprise itself, and adhere to the market orientation.
Yang Zhongyi said that the reform of the scientific and technological system should highlight the role of "guidance" and guide enterprises to invest funds in research and development, such as policy guidance through scientific research investment tax credits, so that they have stronger innovation capabilities, replacing the current government direct financial funds, The practice of investing public resources in certain enterprises.
