After deliberation at the sixth full committee meeting of the fifth session of the Supervisory Committee, the 15th committee meeting of the Natural Science Foundation of China in 2020 decided:
In accordance with the provisions of Article 16 Item 2 of the "Measures of the Supervision Committee of the National Natural Science Foundation of China to Deal with Misconduct in the Funding of Science Funds (for Trial Implementation)", Xu Zhongmin's 2011 key support project of the major research project of the Funding Fund "Heihe Watershed Ecology-Hydrological Process Integration Research” (approval number 91125019), to recover the allocated funds, cancel the Xu Zhongmin National Natural Science Foundation project application qualification for 2 years (July 7, 2020 to July 6, 2022), give Xu Zhongmin a notification criticism.
In accordance with the provisions of Article 19, Paragraph 1 and Article 12 of the Measures of the Supervisory Committee of the National Natural Science Foundation of China for Handling Misconduct in the Funding of Science Funds (Trial), the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environmental Resources, Chinese Academy of Sciences ( The former Cold and Arid Regions Environmental and Engineering Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences) notified criticism.
Previously, The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) published a number of follow-up investigation reports on Xu Zhongmin’s paper on "mentor couples": "An Ecological Economics Paper Attention: Talking about the unity of the mentor’s lofty feeling and the graceful feeling of the teacher’s wife" "paper talk" mentor sublime Mistress beautiful feeling, "the authors: can not be considered flattering," "journal on the" thesis supervisor talk about lofty sense and beautiful sense Mistress, "issued a statement: decided to withdraw the draft" "Glaciology editor Cheng Guodong Responding to "Xu Zhongmin's paper was retracted": Application for taking the blame and resigning" "Research on the "mentor couple" paper is a result of a 2 million National Natural Science Foundation project" "Chinese Academy of Sciences announced the result of improper publication of "Glacier frozen soil": suspension of publication, editor-in-chief removal ".
The Paper has reported that on January 12, reporters found on CNKI that two papers on "mentor couples" by Xu Zhongmin, "Theory and Practice of Ecological Economics Integrated Framework (I): Understanding of Integrated Thoughts" Dao", "Theory and Practice of the Integrated Framework of Ecological Economics (II): Theoretical Framework and Integrated Practice", published in the 5th issue of the journal Glacier and Frozen Soil in 2013.
It is worth noting that the two papers mentioned above mentioned that the project was funded by the “Key Project of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (91125019)”.
According to the label of the paper, The Paper found that the two papers belonged to the "Comprehensive Research on Water-Ecology-Economy Models in the Middle Reaches of the Heihe River Basin" project. The project leader is Xu Zhongmin and the supporting unit is China. The Cold and Arid Regions Environmental and Engineering Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences is a major research project with a funding amount of 2 million yuan.
The summary of the project's conclusion mentioned that through the work during the study period, the project team has achieved a series of results: Metaphysically, starting from the traditional Chinese culture of yin and yang balance, combining Western traditional culture, and managing water resources in the Heihe River Basin. For the case, a bridge of cultural communication between the East and the West was built.
In this process, the development theory of the relationship between heaven and man was put forward, and the methodology of four in one was put forward. On the basis of summarizing the practical experience of the study area, four ways to resolve contradictions were put forward. The water resources management practices of the river basin are consistent, and the wisdom of the Chinese people is fully reflected in the middle.
The results of the project include five aspects: the research progress of ecological economics, theoretical chapter; the research progress of ecological economics, practical chapter; the rising ecological perspective; the integrated research framework of ecological economics; the third window-beyond Newton and Darwin Natural life.
According to a report by Science and Technology Daily on January 15, the Natural Science Foundation of China sent a letter to the project's supporting unit, the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environmental Resources, Chinese Academy of Sciences (in preparation) (formerly the Cold and Arid Regions Environmental and Engineering Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences) to mark the article Wait for the situation to verify.
After verification, the supporting unit responded with a letter stating that: the actual content of the two papers by Prof. Xu Zhongmin did not belong to the research task of the "Comprehensive Research on the Middle Reaches of the Heihe River Basin Water-Ecology-Economy Model" project. The paper marked the fund project Funding is incorrect.
On January 15th, the relevant departments of the Natural Science Foundation of China responded to the two papers involved by Researcher Xu Zhongmin and the fund project:
Judging from the project verification, the project is titled "Comprehensive Study on the Middle Reaches of the Heihe River Basin Water-Ecology-Economy Model", which belongs to the major research program of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, "Heihe River Basin Ecology-Hydrological Process Integration Research" approved in 2011. One of the projects, the implementation period is 2012.01-2015.12, and the funding is 2 million yuan.
The research objectives specified in the project plan are: (1) Establish a basic socio-economic database of the Heihe River Basin to provide socio-economic data support for related projects of the river basin scientific research plan; (2) Establish a water-economy based on a computable general equilibrium model The coupling model simulates the impact of policy changes on the water resources system and the socio-economic system, and provides a socio-economic model for the decision support system of the river basin scientific plan.
The main research contents stipulated are: the construction of the basic database, the compilation of the social accounting matrix (SAM) of the study area, the development and policy analysis of the computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, the value evaluation of the CGE model and the wetland, based on the CGE Model simulation analysis of agricultural land use patterns and research on water-saving efficiency of typical irrigation areas.
The project was completed and accepted in 2016, and a total of 74 articles (departments) were submitted. The project leader himself attended the meeting and reported the project research situation to the expert group.
After careful evaluation, the expert group believes that the project has basically completed the research task, and the comprehensive evaluation level is "fair".
