Chinanews.com, Guiyang, August 23 (Reporter Zhang Wei) The reporter learned from the Guizhou Provincial Department of Science and Technology on the 23rd that 23 units in Guizhou Province have been approved by China's National Natural Science Foundation of China in 2021. The number of approved projects is 581, and the funding is 2.31. 100 million yuan (RMB, the same below), both set the best results in history.
In 2021, the establishment of the National Natural Science Foundation of Guizhou Province will present three bright spots: the number of project funding and funding has reached a record high in Guizhou Province, the funding for the first time exceeded 200 million yuan; the talent project has made a major breakthrough, and Professor Hao Gefei of Guizhou University won the National Outstanding Youth Science Award The funded project has achieved zero breakthroughs in the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars in local universities in Guizhou; Guizhou has won the National Natural Science Foundation of China for the first time in the field of mathematics.
Basic research is the source of the entire scientific and technological innovation system and the master switch of all technical issues.
In recent years, the Department of Science and Technology of Guizhou Province has attached great importance to basic research work and introduced a series of innovative measures to strengthen basic research to stimulate endogenous motivation.
Guizhou has increased its sustained and stable support for basic research.
The data shows that during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the number of projects and funds funded by the Guizhou Basic Research Program were 3 times and 3.6 times that of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan".
Funding for basic research projects in 2020 doubled compared to 2018, and the ratio of basic research investment to R&D (Research and Experimental Development) ranks 10th in China.
By reforming the organization of basic research programs, Guizhou gradually abolished the restrictions on reporting items and fulfilled the talent green card policy.
Starting in 2019, the Guizhou Provincial Fund has declared and honored the policy that high-level green card talents are not subject to individual reporting restrictions by their units. The number of project applications has increased by 106% over 2018, and the amount of funding has reached 55.8 million yuan, an increase of 93.75% over the same period last year.
In 2021, Guizhou completely abolished the provisions of the provincial fund limit, and specified that under the same conditions, it will give priority to funding scientific research personnel under the age of 35 who have not undertaken provincial science and technology projects to stimulate the vitality of young researchers.
Guizhou also encourages free exploration and does not limit specific fields and directions. Applicants only need to apply for basic issues in frontier scientific fields or key technologies in the industry.
Guizhou actively promotes the provincial funded graduation system, focusing on the effective connection and cascading of general projects, key projects and the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
Guizhou has also adopted a reversal mechanism to stimulate the enthusiasm of universities, research institutes and scientific researchers through rewards and subsidies to the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
For the National Natural Science Foundation of China, general projects are awarded at a rate of 20%, and key projects are awarded at a rate of 50%. This has promoted the number of projects approved by the National Natural Science Foundation of Guizhou Province to increase year by year in recent years.
Guizhou Province has successively deployed the construction of major scientific and technological infrastructures such as the Gui'an Supercomputing Center, established a key laboratory system in Guizhou Province, and successively approved the construction of 67 provincial key laboratories, of which 5 have been upgraded to state key laboratories.
Deploy field scientific observation and research stations in typical regions and fields of Guizhou Province, and continuously obtain basic data for a long time to promote the development of related fields.
In 2020, the Puding Karst Ecosystem Observation and Research Station of Guizhou Province was successfully incorporated into the national field station system.
Promote the open sharing of scientific research facilities and instruments. 237 units and more than 4,700 units/sets of scientific instruments have been included in the open sharing network, providing strong basic support and conditions for scientific and technological innovation, and contributing to the promotion of the original innovation ability of Guizhou Province and the training of high-level innovative talents. , It is of great significance to produce innovative results.
In the next step, the Department of Science and Technology of Guizhou Province will continue to place basic research and applied basic research in an important position, continue to increase investment, optimize the investment structure, strengthen the construction of major science and technology infrastructure and basic research platforms, and promote the high-quality development of Guizhou Province.
