"Less restrictions", "heavy incentives" and "reduction of burdens", Hunan introduced fiscal scientific research fund management "New Deal"

Changsha Evening News, Changsha, September 1st (All Media Reporter Xu Yunyuan Correspondent Wen Jing) The reporter learned from the Provincial Department of Science and Technology that the Hunan Provincial Government General Office recently issued the "Implementation Opinions on Further Implementation of Provincial Fiscal Scientific Research Fund Management". 27 "dry goods" measures were proposed in seven aspects, including the autonomy of scientific research projects, to further improve the management of provincial financial research funding, and "loosen" the burden on scientific researchers and stimulate the vitality of scientific research innovation.

Less restrictions, expand the autonomy of funding management of scientific research projects

According to the implementation opinions, on the one hand, Hunan simplifies the budget preparation and streamlines the direct expenses of scientific research expenses into three categories: equipment costs, business fees, and labor expenses; The undertaking unit, except for the cost of adjusting the equipment fee, all of the rights of the project will be decentralized to the project leader.

At the same time, the implementation scope of the implementation of the funding system is expanded. On the basis of the original pilot, the implementation of the funding system in the newly established provincial natural science fund, Huxiang youth science and technology innovation talents, and science and technology leading talents, allowing the project leader to decide the funds independently Specific use. The project balance funds are arranged by the undertaking unit for the direct expenditure of scientific research activities. The cancellation of the restrictions of the balance of the balance is only 2 years of use.

Rebelling and increasing the proportion of scientific research funds to "people"

Increase the incentives of scientific researchers and further increase the proportion of indirect costs. The indirect cost ratio of pure theoretical basic research projects can be increased to no more than 60%, and the project undertaking unit can use all indirect costs for performance expenditure.

Expand the scope of labor expenses, and the social insurance subsidies (excluding commercial insurance), housing provident fund, etc. of the project hired personnel are included in labor expenses. Foreign experts of major innovation platforms and talent projects can also be listed in labor expenses. Provincial universities, scientific research institutes, and state -owned enterprises can declare dynamically adjusting performance salary levels according to actual situations such as fiscal scientific research projects that can be used for the performance of the performance of the personnel. Implement the annual salary system.

Hunan will also carry out the pilot of stable support for scientific research funding for the withdrawal of the award funds. It will extract no more than 20%from the stable support scientific research expenses as the reward funding. The pilot unit will independently decide the scope and standards of the use of the use of incentives to stimulate the innovative vitality of scientific researchers.

Reduce the burden and let scientific researchers focus on research

Encourage project undertaking units to strengthen the construction of scientific research and financial assistants, and provide a relatively fixed scientific research and financial assistant for each project to provide professional services. The cost of labor cost (including social insurance subsidies and housing provident funds) required for scientific research and financial assistants can be resolved by the project undertaking unit through channels such as scientific research project funds according to the situation.

In terms of project acceptance, a one -time comprehensive performance evaluation can be implemented, and the financial audit report issued by the project undertaking unit can provide a third -party professional institution as the basis for acceptance. In terms of financial reimbursement, the project undertaking unit is allowed to implement the food subsidy fee in domestic travel expenses, the transportation fee in the city, and the accommodation fee that is difficult to obtain invoices. In terms of the procurement of scientific research instruments and equipment, the equipment and consumables purchased by the provincial universities and scientific research institutes use special affairs and consumables to procure the procurement mechanism, and the bidding procedures are not performed. In terms of the management of the abroad (border), the international cooperation and exchange expenses listed in scientific research funds will be separately managed according to the business category. It will not be included in the scope of the "three public" funds, and it is not limited by zero -growth requirements.

In order to ensure the implementation of various measures, implement the opinions, improve scientific research performance management and fund supervision mechanisms, strengthen scientific research funding supervision and inspection, clearly strengthen classification performance evaluation, and improve different types of scientific research projects such as free exploration, task -oriented types, and sound different differences. The performance evaluation index system. At the same time, the construction of scientific research integrity is promoted, and credit record management is implemented in the process of scientific research funding management. It is responsible for accountability and joint punishment for serious dishonesty behavior; explores and formulate related negative lists, and clarifies the ban on the use of scientific research projects.
