The "Loss Of Scientific Research Funds" Is False Report. Conference Expenses And Travel Expenses Account For Only 10%.

From the Ministry of innovation and development of the Ministry of science and technology, we learned that in 2014, China's R & D investment continued to improve; in the trillions of research funding, enterprises accounted for a large proportion, accounting for a new high of 77.3%.

"The expenditure of scientific research funds in enterprises should be managed according to budgets in addition to the projects that bear state financial funds, and how the other departments want to use them should be the final say of the enterprises themselves."

An expert engaged in science and technology input statistics told ScienceDaily daily that the company is already the main body of investment and use of research funds. They will strive to improve their own innovative ability to set up projects, and aim at market competitiveness to improve the efficiency of funds utilization.

Statistics show that in 2014, enterprises had 42 billion 230 million yuan of R & D funding from the government, the proportion was not high, accounting for about 4%.

According to the statistics bulletin of the 2014 National Science and technology expenditure statistics, the total amount of R & D investment in 2014 was 1 trillion and 301 billion 560 million yuan, an increase of 116 billion 900 million yuan over the previous year, and the intensity of R & D input has exceeded 2% for two consecutive years, showing a continuous upward trend.

The proportion of expenditure by enterprises, government research institutions and colleges and universities is 77.3%, 14.8% and 6.9% respectively.

The R & D expenditure of enterprises is 1 trillion and 6 billion 60 million yuan, an increase of 10.9% over the previous year. The growth rate is 2.8 and 6.1 percentage points higher than that of the government research institutions and institutions of higher learning. The contribution to the growth of R & D expenditure in the whole society is 84.2%, 4.5 percentage points higher than that of the previous year.

So the next question is: how do we spend money on the national financial investment? Is it really on the way to a business trip? Actually, it is not.

Reporters from the science and Technology Ministry of science and technology funding supervision and service center in the past three years, the Ministry of science and technology expenditure expenditure structure of the major scientific and technological expenditure table shows that the largest expenditure is material costs, accounting for nearly 30% of the total expenditure.

The sum of two meetings and travel expenses generally does not exceed 10% of the total expenditure.

"According to our statistics, in the year 2012-2014, the top three of the three major national science and technology projects in the original'863','973' and the" science and technology support plan "are: materials, equipment and testing and processing fees.

Li Baozhi, director of the science and technology fund supervision service center of the Ministry of science and technology, told reporters that in support of the plan, the cost of materials accounted for the first place in the budget subjects, accounting for 28.10% of the total expenditure, followed by equipment expenses, accounting for 15.31%, and the test processing fee ranked third, accounting for 13.07%.

The conference fee, which has received much attention from the society, accounts for only 2.82%.

Accounting for 8.53%.

"The support plan will be slightly higher than the cost of other technology projects because of the decentralization of the units."

Li Baozhi said that the Ministry of science and technology mainly supports natural science research projects, some projects need field operations, and some projects need to travel business trips.

Li Baozhi said, for travel and so on.

It can't be as high as legendary.

In view of the recent media reports that "the China Association for science and technology survey shows that only 40% of research funds are used for the project itself, a large number of research funds have been lost outside the project", the China Association for science and Technology issued a statement today.

There has always been doubt about the management system of scientific research funds in the society. Whether there is a situation of falsely claiming, leading, misappropriating or wasting funds from research funds of public funds? In August 31st, the China Youth Daily published a paper entitled "how many rich people spawned by scientific research funds". It is mentioned in the article that "a survey by the China Association for science and technology has given more intuitive data: the funds for scientific research only account for about 40% of the project itself, and a large number of research funds have been lost outside the project", causing widespread public concern.

The empowerment statement issued by the research and Propaganda Department of the China Association for science and technology today said:

In 2003, the first national survey of scientific and technological workers was organized, and a survey report on the status of scientists and technicians was published in 2004 (China Science and Technology Press).

The contents of the report are: three. The proportion of funds directly used for scientific research projects.

The survey results show that the proportion of funds for projects in the country is around 40%, and there is no such content as "loss of scientific research funds".

At the same time, the China Association for science and technology said that, in view of the false report of research funding data, it requested relevant units to take measures to clarify as soon as possible, while retaining the right to pursue responsibility.
