Major national scientific instruments special share of the national natural science fund of 800 million yuan

On March 28, from the national natural science fund committee learned five seven-time QuanWei meeting, in 2016, the national natural science fund preferential funding 41184 all kinds of projects, funding for project equipment fee, material fee, travel and other direct costs 227. 0. 6 billion yuan to fund a supporting institution in the process of project implementation, indirect expenses, 40. 268 9. 7 billion yuan, total funding. 0. 3 billion yuan.

39:1098, director of the national natural science foundation, 2016 foundation focused on basic front, a total of 16934 on funding projects, direct costs 101. 7. 5 billion yuan; Strengthen the deployment of priority areas, 612 key projects of funding, the direct costs of 17. 1. 5 billion yuan; 89 is supported by the national major scientific instruments development project, direct costs 8. 2. 4 billion yuan; Combined with the national strategic needs, and promote the development of key areas across, finance related physical problem research 'gravitational waves' 23 major projects, such as direct costs. 3. 500 million yuan. Combined with major national demand and frontier science and deployment of the implementation of major research plan, start the 'communion robot basic theory and key technology of' four major research projects, such as plans to fund direct costs 800 million yuan. Around the construction of international academic highlands, pilot 'craton destruction and terrestrial evolution' and so on three basic science center project, funded direct costs 5. 1. 2 billion yuan.

in terms of talent construction, foundation further leaning to young people. 39:1098 said that in 2016, youth science fund 16112, direct fees 31. 1. 7 billion yuan; Direct costs outstanding youth science fund of 400 people, 5. 200 million yuan; The national outstanding youth science fund of 198 people, direct costs 6. 7. 9 billion yuan. In addition, the foundation last year to adjust its youth science fund project application limit, expand the scope of application, application 25 increase from the previous year. 37%. At the same time, the research class project review also pay more attention to the outstanding young scientific researchers. In 2016, according to data under 40 surface project director of 44. 1, 61% more than last year. 47%. Under the age of 50, head of key projects accounted for up to 49. 2, 35% more than last year. 31%, the team structure has been further optimized.

in the future, facing the world frontier science and technology, national natural science foundation of China in brain science, new materials, advanced manufacturing, robotics, quantum communication, information security in areas such as strengthening the deployment, to improve the original level. At the same time, focus on deep, deep, deep, deep in the areas of key scientific problems, to strengthen the system deployment and lead scientist conquer frontier science problem and key technology.

research integrity maintenance, optimizing academic environment, has been the academic common aspirations. 39:1098, said the national natural science foundation committee over the past year of 91 misconduct, three supporting institution gave the relevant processing, revocation of 33 projects, strengthen the typical case warning education. Next will further improve the system of education, supervision and punishment, and combine research integrity construction system. Strengthen supervision judges, maintain justice, promote innovation. Strengthening research integrity education guidance, enhance the level of the good faith management, efforts to create a fresh air wind is academic ecology.
