Universities and research institutes are engaged in exploratory and creative scientific research activities, which have unique advantages in knowledge and talents, and are an important force in implementing the innovation-driven development strategy and building an innovative country. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council attached great importance to the decentralization of scientific research in universities and research institutes. In recent years, a series of reform measures have been introduced one after another and achieved good results. However, with the deepening of scientific and technological innovation, it is increasingly difficult for universities and research institutes to meet the needs of practical development. In order to further improve the relevant institutional system, promote universities and research institutes to expand scientific research autonomy, comprehensively enhance innovation vitality, enhance innovation performance, increase the supply of scientific and technological achievements, and support high-quality economic and social development, we hereby put forward the following opinions.

I. General requirements

(1) guiding ideology.

Therefore, it is necessary to fully implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Second and Third Plenary Sessions of the 19th Central Committee, conscientiously implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, firmly establish a new development concept, follow the laws of scientific research activities, talent growth and achievement transformation, deepen the reform of the scientific and technological system, transform the government's scientific and technological management functions, grasp the strategy, plan, policy and service, support universities and research institutes to exercise their scientific research-related autonomy according to laws and regulations, fully mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of units and personnel, and enhance.

(2) Basic principles.

Adhere to the consistency between unit development and national mission. Adhere to and strengthen the party's overall leadership over universities and research institutes, keep in mind the national mission, adhere to the national goal orientation, make full use of the responsibilities and powers entrusted by the state to organize work, actively undertake major scientific research tasks, integrate the development of units into the overall situation of national development, and realize their own sustainable development in the process of serving national goals.

Adhere to unified requirements and coordinate classification policies. To expand the autonomy of scientific research in universities and research institutes, it is necessary to conform to the overall requirements of the central classification to promote the reform of public institutions, respect scientific laws, accurately implement policies according to the different characteristics of universities and research institutes, implement classified management, and improve the pertinence and operability of policies.

Adhere to the combination of decentralization and strengthening supervision. Minimize the government's micro-management and direct intervention in the internal affairs of universities and research institutes, strengthen the overall grasp of the development direction, implement budget performance management, promote the construction of internal control mechanism, ensure full decentralization and effective undertaking, improve internal governance and strengthen external supervision, encourage actions and serious accountability, and be consistent with powers and responsibilities.

Second, improve the operation and management mechanism of institutions.

(3) Improve the management of articles of association. Competent departments should, in accordance with the spirit of central reform and the principle of separation of government affairs, organize subordinate colleges and universities to improve their statutes, promote scientific research institutes to formulate statutes, and scientifically determine the functional orientation and powers and responsibilities of different types of units. Institutions of higher learning and research institutes should carry out scientific research activities in accordance with the functions and business scope stipulated in the articles of association, improve the internal governance structure, and establish an efficient management mechanism. The competent department shall not interfere with the affairs that the articles of association give to the management authority of universities and research institutes.

(4) Strengthen performance management. Universities and research institutes should formulate medium-and long-term development goals and plans, and define performance goals and indicators. Competent departments should reduce process management, emphasize innovation orientation, result orientation and performance orientation, implement long-term performance management and evaluation of universities and research institutes, and make the evaluation results public in an appropriate way as an important basis for unit financial allocation, construction of scientific and technological innovation bases, evaluation and reward of leaders, and total performance salary verification. The establishment department shall refer to the evaluation results when handling the adjustment of the establishment of scientific research institutions in accordance with the procedures.

(5) Optimize the management of institutional setup. Science and technology departments shall, in accordance with the principles of clear functional orientation, reasonable layout, simplicity and high efficiency, formulate the reform, development and layout planning of scientific research institutions, and promote the optimal allocation of scientific and technological resources. Institutions of higher learning and scientific research institutes can independently set up, change and cancel internal institutions according to the national strategic needs, industry development needs and scientific and technological development trends, and in accordance with the principle of streamlining and high efficiency.

Third, optimize the scientific research management mechanism.

(6) Simplify the management process of scientific research projects. Improve the organization and implementation mechanism of major projects of the central financial science and technology plan, improve the project formation mechanism around the national demand, reasonably determine the project layout, quantity and volume, optimize the R&D team, strengthen the responsibility implementation and result assessment, and simplify the process management. Science and technology departments should work with relevant departments to streamline the project application process and reduce unnecessary application materials. Implement "milestone" management in the process of project implementation, and reduce various process evaluations, inspections, spot checks and audits. Evaluate, standardize and dynamically adjust the third-party audit institutions in combination with financial acceptance and technical acceptance. Integrate the material submission links of various work and plans of science and technology management to realize multi-purpose of one form. The establishment of the national science and technology management information system according to the authority of the public system, where the information system has provided or has been required to provide materials, shall not be required to provide repeated. The departments of science and technology, finance, education and the Chinese Academy of Sciences should carry out special actions to reduce the burden on researchers and actively create an environment conducive to centralized research.

(seven) improve the management mechanism of scientific research funds. Reform the budgeting and payment method of indirect funds, instead of budgeting by the person in charge of the project, the project management department (unit) will directly examine and approve and go through the formalities of fund payment, and the funds will be paid directly to the undertaking unit. Accelerate the pilot reform of scientific research management based on performance, integrity and ability, and timely summarize and promote the experience and practices of the pilot fund management of scientific research projects. To implement the autonomy in the use of horizontal funds, the measures for the management of horizontal funds formulated by the unit according to law can be used as the basis for auditing and inspection. Allow the project undertaker to implement the contract system for food subsidies, local transportation expenses and accommodation expenses that are difficult to obtain invoices in domestic travel expenses. Science, technology and education departments timely select some universities and research institutes to explore the pilot reform of domestic travel reimbursement.

(eight) improve the procurement management of scientific research instruments and equipment consumables. In order to simplify the procurement process and shorten the procurement cycle, universities and research institutes can adopt more flexible and convenient procurement methods for instruments and equipment produced by exclusive agents according to relevant regulations and procedures. For the equipment and consumables urgently needed for scientific research, the procurement mechanism of special affairs and on-call can be adopted, and the bidding procedure can be exempted. All units should establish and improve the procurement management system of scientific research equipment and consumables, and make clear provisions on the procurement that really needs special treatment to ensure no disorder.

(9) Give innovative leading talents greater scientific research autonomy. The person in charge of the national scientific research project can independently adjust the research scheme and technical route according to the relevant provisions of the state, and independently set up a scientific research team. In the distribution of graduate enrollment plans of universities and research institutes with corresponding authorization, we will be inclined to the excellent teams and tutors who undertake major scientific research projects such as major national science and technology projects and R&D key plans. Explore strengthening doctoral training based on major scientific and technological innovation platforms, major scientific research projects and engineering projects, and improve the training cost sharing mechanism. The project undertaker should earnestly implement the autonomy of official card management, and allow temporary workers, graduate students and other personnel who do not have the application conditions for official cards to settle the travel expenses arising from the implementation of project tasks without using official cards.

(10) Reform the management system of scientific and technological achievements. Revise and improve the laws and regulations on the evaluation and management of state-owned assets, and cancel the procedures for the evaluation and filing of post scientific and technological achievements. Science and technology, finance and other departments should carry out pilot projects to give scientific researchers the ownership or long-term use right of post scientific and technological achievements, and explore ways to further improve the ownership system of post scientific and technological achievements.

Fourth, reform related personnel management methods.

(eleven) to hire staff independently. Universities and research institutes can make recruitment plans, set job conditions, release recruitment information, organize open recruitment independently, standardize post-employment management, smooth the export of personnel, and realize the market-oriented exit of employed personnel according to the relevant provisions of the state and the needs of carrying out scientific research activities. Treat local talents and overseas talents equally, equally. Support and encourage professional and technical personnel in universities and research institutes to engage in innovative activities by means of attachment, participation in project cooperation, part-time work and on-the-job entrepreneurship. Scientific research institutes are allowed to improve the internal employment system and independently appoint the heads of internal institutions. Cadres in the leading bodies of centrally managed universities and research institutes should strictly implement the relevant provisions of the central government, and the heads of internal R&D institutions can receive cash and equity rewards for the conversion of scientific and technological achievements according to laws and regulations, and implement the policy of differentiated treatment and classified management for teaching and research personnel who temporarily go abroad (in the country) on business and part-time jobs.

(12) Set up posts independently. Universities and research institutes can independently formulate post setting schemes and management methods and determine the proportion of post structure according to the relevant provisions of the state and the needs of scientific and technological innovation and development. The system of employment contract, post management and open recruitment has been fully implemented, and a flexible employment mechanism has been established. The proportion of senior professional and technical posts in the establishment can be appropriately increased, and adjustments can be reported to relevant departments for the record according to management authority. Universities and research institutes are allowed to introduce outstanding talents to engage in innovative activities by setting up innovative posts and mobile posts. There is an urgent need for high-level talents introduced by the unit, and it is difficult to meet the demand by adjusting the post setting. With the approval of the relevant departments, a certain number of special posts are set up, which is not limited by the total number of posts, the highest level and the structural proportion. The preparation matters are reported to the organization establishment management department for special approval according to the procedures. After completing related tasks, write off according to management authority.

(thirteen) the effective decentralization of professional title evaluation authority. Universities and research institutes independently formulate methods and operational plans for professional title evaluation according to state regulations, independently carry out professional title evaluation according to management authority, and report the evaluation results to the competent authorities for the record as required afterwards. Some universities and research institutes that do not have the conditions and can't independently organize evaluation can independently adopt the methods of joint evaluation and entrusted evaluation. For high-level talents who are in urgent need and have made outstanding contributions, universities and research institutes are allowed to open up a green channel for evaluation on the premise of clear standards, procedures and publicity, and the evaluation standards do not set thresholds such as academic qualifications and years.

(14) Improve staffing management. The education department shall, jointly with the relevant departments of organization, finance, human resources and social security, speed up the formulation of guiding standards and pilot programs for the total number of personnel in colleges and universities, and actively carry out pilot projects. On the basis of summarizing and evaluating the pilot work of filing system in scientific research institutes, we will improve relevant policies and gradually expand the scope of the pilot.

Fifth, improve the performance wage distribution model.

(fifteen) increase the performance salary distribution for scientific research personnel. Universities and research institutes can independently determine the structure, assessment method, distribution method, salary item name, standard and distribution scope of performance pay within the total amount of performance pay, and the distribution of performance pay should be inclined to key innovative posts, researchers with outstanding contributions, personnel undertaking financial research projects, innovative teams and outstanding young talents. In the examination and approval of the total amount of performance pay, it should be inclined to high-level talents and universities and research institutes with outstanding innovation performance. The departments of human resources, social security and finance should, in conjunction with the relevant competent departments, explore the establishment of a wage system in line with the characteristics of the industry in some universities and research institutes.

(sixteen) to strengthen the incentive effect of performance pay on scientific and technological innovation. Flexible distribution methods such as annual salary system, agreed salary and project salary can be implemented for team leaders who undertake key technology research tasks in key national fields and high-level talents urgently needed by units. Their wages are listed separately in the total performance pay of the unit where they work, and the total performance pay of the unit in that year increases accordingly. Increase the incentive of stock options for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements of personnel in universities and research institutes, and the cash rewards for the transformation of post scientific and technological achievements and the income obtained by researchers from part-time or full-time entrepreneurship are not limited by the total performance salary and are not included in the total base.

Sixth, ensure effective policy implementation.

(seventeen) to strengthen overall coordination. Science, technology and education departments shall, in conjunction with relevant departments such as organization, institutional establishment, development and reform, finance, human resources and social security, improve supporting systems in a timely manner, establish a communication and feedback mechanism for policy implementation and dynamic adjustment, and organize the evaluation of reform effects in a timely manner. According to the spirit of this opinion, the competent department should complete the revision of the relevant management system within half a year, and fully decentralize the post setting, personnel employment, internal organization adjustment, performance salary distribution, evaluation and assessment, and scientific research organization. And strengthen support and performance management. The relevant reform pilot work should be started within half a year, and relevant departments should strengthen guidance, sum up, evaluate, replicate and promote successful experiences and practices in a timely manner.

(eighteen) the implementation of the main responsibility. The main leaders of the party and government in universities and research institutes are the first responsible persons of their own units. They should improve their ideological understanding, strengthen their responsibilities, do a good job in organization and implementation, and put the policy of independence into the front line of scientific research. Grasping the effect of implementation is an important content of unit team assessment. Within one year, it is necessary to formulate and improve specific management measures for scientific research, personnel, finance, achievement transformation and scientific research integrity of the unit, establish and improve relevant work systems and supporting systems, actively promote the disclosure of major decisions, major issues and important systems, and consciously accept supervision from all parties.

(nineteen) the implementation of effective supervision. Universities and scientific research institutes should establish internal control systems suitable for the actual situation of their own units, strengthen internal process control, analyze potential risks, improve the risk assessment mechanism, realize the comprehensive and effective implementation of the internal control system, ensure that the autonomy is well collected and used, without accidents, and prevent corruption.

All relevant departments should track the performance of their duties and the exercise of their autonomy in universities and research institutes, supervise the implementation of reform policies through "double random and double open" spot checks, supervision and third-party performance evaluation, notify those who fail to implement them in an appropriate way, and deal with the illegal problems found seriously. The budget performance responsibility system is implemented for the person in charge of scientific research projects, and the performance lifelong accountability system is implemented for the person in charge of major projects. Establish a public publicity and credit mechanism, take the integrity status as an important basis for units to obtain scientific research-related autonomy, incorporate dishonesty in the process of exercising relevant autonomy into credit record management, and implement lifelong accountability and joint punishment for serious dishonesty.

(20) encourage responsibility. In accordance with the requirements of "three differences", encourage the reform and innovation of universities and research institutes. When the supervision and inspection work is inconsistent with the relevant policies understood by the working object, the supervision and inspection department shall communicate with the policy-making department and investigate and clarify in time. Cadres who are responsible for unintentional mistakes should be comprehensively analyzed and properly handled in accordance with the principles of putting their career first, seeking truth from facts, observing discipline according to law, tolerating and correcting at the same time, combined with factors such as motivation, attitude, objective conditions, procedures, methods, nature, consequences and recovery of losses. The boldness of tolerance should not be tolerated, and cadres should be encouraged to take responsibility and take the initiative.

This opinion applies to universities and central-level scientific research institutes affiliated to the central departments. Where the existing relevant provisions are inconsistent with this opinion, this opinion shall prevail.
