It is essential to manage the development of scientific research well. In August 2021, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Several Opinions on Reform and Improve the Management of the Central Financial Research Fund", which clarified that the spirit of all regions should refer to the spirit of opinions and combine reality to reform and improve the management of financial research funding in the region.

In recent years, the party committee and government of the autonomous region have attached great importance to scientific and technological innovation, in -depth implementation of the "science and technology" operation, continuously promoting the reform of "decentralization of service" in the scientific and technological field, creating a good innovative ecological environment, and creating a new advantage of innovation -driven development. In order to implement the opinions of the General Office of the State Council, combined with the actual management of financial research funds at the autonomous region, not long ago, the General Office of the Autonomous Region Government issued the "Implementation Opinions on Reform and Improve the Management of Financial Scientific Research Funds in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region" (hereinafter referred to as the "Implementation Opinions" ), Give scientific researchers greater funding to use autonomy, allowing scientific research units and researchers to liberate from the tedious, unnecessary institutional mechanisms, and effectively stimulate scientific research innovation and creativity.

"Looking forward for a long time." Many scientific researchers said that the enthusiasm for research and development has been further stimulated and devoted his whole body to scientific research.

Multi -pronged approach expand funds to independent use rights

"In the past, the project budget was required to strictly calculate various expenses, and the effects of market factors should be considered as much as possible on the costs of market factors on equipment, materials, testing and processing." Duan Limin, an associate researcher at Inner Mongolia Agricultural University, admits , Often invest a lot of time and energy in budget preparation.

"Scientific research is uncertain, which technical route is more reasonable, what equipment needs to support key technical research, how many materials to purchase to meet the experimental needs, when you can obtain substantial breakthroughs, how long it takes to complete, etc., you need to be on. In the process of actual development, weighing and optimization. Therefore, in the process of engaging in specific research and development, funding also needs to be appropriately adjusted to better support the orderly advancement of the projects in order. "Duan Limin said.

The "Implementation Opinions" proposes that the direct fee budget subject will be uniformly streamlined from the current 9 or more. A pen came out.

According to Wang Yuxin, the resource allocation and management department of the Science and Technology Department of the Autonomous Region, in order to realize the decentralization of the budget transfer right of scientific research projects, the "Implementation Opinions" proposes to be decentralized to the project undertaking unit, that is, the project leader does not need to need to project management to project management. The department applies for the increase in equipment fee budget. Except for the right to adjust the equipment costs, all the project undertaking units are decentralized to the project leader, and it is arranged independently according to the needs of scientific research activities.

In the eyes of many scientific researchers, the detailed preparation of budgets is not used as a factor for reviewing budgets, and decentralization of budget transfer rights will help solve the tedious problems of scientific research funding budget preparation, and no "scientific research surrounds funding".

The scope of expanding the implementation of the funding system is also a highlight. In 2020 and 2021, our district promoted the pilot system of funding in the "Jieqing" project of the Natural Science Foundation of the Autonomous Region and achieved good results. On this basis, the "Implementation Opinions" clearly expand the scope of implementation, and expand the scope of the package system to all projects, talent programs and soft scientific research projects of the Natural Science Foundation of the Autonomous Region.

Li Fei, a researcher at the Grassland Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and Wang Ning, an associate researcher, are the beneficiaries. In 2020 and 2021, Li Fei and Wang Ning obtained the funding of the Outstanding Youth Cultivation Fund of the Autonomous Region. "Since the implementation of the scientific research funding system in Inner Mongolia's Jieqing project, there is no need to prepare project budgets to decentralize the right of scientific research personnel, increase investment in project research and achieve fruitful results," they said.

In order to encourage scientific research units and scientific researchers to save money and avoid assault spending money, the "Implementation Opinions" further optimized fund management. After the project completes the task target through comprehensive performance evaluation, the balance of funds is returned to the project undertaking unit; The balance of funds is used for the direct expenditure of scientific research activities, prioritize the scientific research needs of the original project team, formulate the internal management system of balance of funds, revitalize the balance of funds, and accelerate the progress of funds.

Li Lin, director of the Finance Division of the Inner Mongolia Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said: "The advantage of this is that it not only fully gives scientific researchers' autonomy in the project implementation process, but also helps to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm and truly use scientific research expenses on the blade. The regulations for the balance of balance to be used for the original scientific research team will help the scientific research projects to rolling development and enhance development stamina and sustainability. At the same time, the activation mechanism of the balance of balance funds will help wake up the sleeping funds and resources on the system and mechanism. ' , Make it more smoothly serving the needs of scientific research expenditures. "Highlighting the incentive effectiveness of performance release reform

In the final analysis, scientific and technological innovation is human innovation. Only by fully release the incentive effectiveness of reform and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of scientific researchers to be fully mobilized, can the vitality of innovation be fully flowing.

The "Implementation Opinions" proposes to increase the proportion of indirect costs. After deducting a certain percentage of the deduction of the equipment purchase fee, the part of the indirect cost is increased to no more than 30%; the part of 5 million yuan to 10 million yuan is increased to no more than 25%; 10 million yuan The above part is raised to no more than 20%. Pure theoretical basic research projects such as mathematics have further increased to not more than 60%. The project undertaking unit may use all indirect expenses for performance expenditure. The interviewed researchers believe that this will help solve the source of the performance wages of scientific researchers.

"People are the core of scientific research. Scientific research funding management must reflect the respect of personnel's knowledge value and labor results, which is in line with the actual situation of scientific and technological work." Scientific researchers agree that increasing the proportion of indirect expenses and performance expenditures, and the project undertaking unit can perform performance. More tilt from young scientific and technological talents to support them to do research at ease.

The "Implementation Opinions" also made it clear that for the employees of scientific research projects, the scope of labor costs further expanded the expenditure of labor costs, and for the first time, the housing provident fund of the project employees was included in the labor expenses subject. In other words, the "five insurances and one gold" of the employees can be listed from scientific research funds.

In addition, the Human Resources and Social Security Department of the Autonomous Region and the Finance Department combined with the actual situation of universities and scientific research institutes directly under the autonomous region, especially the actual situation of indirect expenses such as fiscal scientific research projects can be used for the performance of the performance of the personnel. Total amount. When allocating performance salary, scientific researchers who undertake many scientific research tasks and have outstanding results in the autonomous region should be tilted.

Simplify procedures to resolve "reimbursement difficult" and "difficult reimbursement"

The scientific research funding reimbursement process is cumbersome and has been considered a big pain point for the management of scientific research funds. After strengthening the support of the information system, today, the paperless office of Inner Mongolia University of Technology is more suitable for digitalization and paperless needs for reimbursement of scientific research funds, which effectively reduces the burden of reimbursement of scientific researchers.

"Before scientific researchers walked out of our financial business hall, they had received reimbursement fees to account information." Wu Yongjun, director of the Finance Department of Institute of Technology in Inner Mongolia, told reporters that in accordance with the "Implementation Opinions", the information construction requirements for strengthening scientific research funding reimbursement, schools first first Try to develop a paperless office software first, which has become a vivid practice that allows digital information to run for multiple running roads and scientific researchers. "Run once" means that scientific researchers send all bills to the school's finance office for archive.

"What accounts are to" no longer rely on guessing, "when will the report get the account" no longer rely on questioning, the reporting situation is intuitive. Today, scientific researchers in Inner Mongolia University of Technology can complete the process of travel approval and reimbursement approval by opening the mobile app.

The "Implementation Opinions" focuses on outstanding issues that colleges, scientific research institutes, and scientific and technological personnel, and effectively ensure the actual needs of scientific research activities. Zhu Baohua, deputy director of the Science and Technology Division of Inner Mongolia University, believes: "The" Implementation Opinions "requires that the financial management department will allocate the funding to the project undertaking unit within 30 days after the project signing of the project. Ensure the actual needs of scientific research activities. "

"70%of the research institutes often participate in wild scientific investigations. Sometimes they live in tents. Sometimes they live in herdsmen's house. It is definitely unrealistic to invoicing." Li Yuanheng, director of the Scientific Research Management Office of the Grassland Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. He is particularly concerned about the new provisions in the "Implementation Opinions": The project undertaking unit is allowed to implement a dry system for food subsidies in domestic travel expenses, municipal transportation expenses, and accommodation expenses that are difficult to obtain invoices.

The travel expenses have solved the problems such as "finding tickets" and "tickets" often encountered by researchers. The scope of the dry system expands, so that more scientific researchers enjoy the dividend of the "decentralization of service" of scientific research, the project host fully enjoys the autonomy of scientific research funding, get rid of the barriers between the uncertainty and the accuracy of the budget for the use of basic research funds, and realize it. The optimized allocation of talents and resources makes scientific researchers have greater enthusiasm, greater freedom, and more sense of gain.

"Localization is an important part of the implementation of the reform of scientific research funds. To let the new policy really benefit from scientific researchers, it is necessary to further implement it." Study, discuss, and actively do a good job of internal rules. (Reporter and Qing Ling))
