Five departments reduce the burden on young scientific researchers: not required youth researchers to participate in entertainment activities

Cover news reporter Teng Yan Leader Feng Rui

On August 8th, the cover reporter learned from the Ministry of Science and Technology that the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Education, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Natural Science and Sciences Fund Commission jointly issued the "Notice on Development of Special Actions to Reduce Young Scientific Researchers". (The following referred to as "Notice"). The reporter noticed that special actions mainly include five aspects: "picking beams", "increasing opportunities", "reduction of assessment", "guarantee time", "strong body and mind".

The first is "picking the beam". The "Notice" pointed out that the proportion of the national key R & D plan for young talents under the age of 40 to increase the proportion of projects (projects) and backbones to 20%; expand the size of the project of young scientists in the national key R & D plan. The proportion of young scientific researchers under the 45s of the 45s of the project leaders of the Strategic Pioneers of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is not less than 50%. The newly established deputy chief positions were established in the new national science and technology infrastructure engineering headquarters in the newly -started construction of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Carry out the special pilot work of basic research talents.

Followed by "increasing opportunities". The central -level public welfare research institutes and the central departments directly under the central department of the high school institutions are generally not less than 50%of the proportion of young scientific researchers, reducing the burden of project declaration. Increase funding and scale of the National Natural Science Foundation of China Youth Science Fund project. Promote qualified scientific research units to set up professional early youth talent training, to support non -competitive research funds for doctoral graduates and postdoctoral post -doctoral graduates and post -doctoral post -doctoral graduates, and support the establishment of postdoctoral innovation research positions.

The third point is "reduction of assessment". Improve the national key research and development plan youth scientist project, the Natural Science Foundation Excellent Youth Science Fund Project, the National Outstanding Youth Science Fund project, the "scientific and technological innovation 2030 -major project" youth scientist project assessment and evaluation method Scientific research projects in the field, establish due diligence exemption mechanisms. Promote scientific research units to reduce the frequency of assessment of young scientific researchers, implement medium -length cycle assessment and evaluation such as appraisal assessment and project cycle assessment, and simplify and dilute the usual assessment. Reasonable evaluation of the actual work contribution of young scientific researchers, in the scientific research -related performance assessment and evaluation, set the evaluation indicators according to the characteristics of the post, and all contribute Agree, avoid only the results of the signature as the basis for assessment and evaluation.

The fourth point is "guarantee time". Ensure that youth full -time scientific researchers are used for scientific research at no less than 4/5. Young scientific researchers are not required to participate in scenery, entertainment activities, and attending reception meetings. Government departments and affiliated institutions are not necessary for professional and policy business, and in principle, they do not use the front -line youth researchers. It really needs to be borrowed, and you can restless young researchers to engage in general administrative work. Increase the development of scientific research assistants' positions, encourage scientific research units to hire scientific research assistants from fresh college graduates, and provide professional auxiliary services for scientific research teams.

About "strong body and mind". Relevant departments organize special training courses for outstanding young scientific researchers and establish a normal mechanism; promote the enlightenment of scientific research units for doctoral and post -doctoral career enlightenment training to be equipped with high -level scientific research and entrepreneurial mentors. Regularly organize youth researchers to carry out psychological health consultation and psychological guidance. Promote scientific research units to organize youth researchers to carry out the "1 hour of exercise per day".

2018年，科技部、财政部、教育部、中科院曾联合开展减轻科研人员负担专项行动（减负行动1.0），包括减表、解决报销繁、精简牌子、清理“唯论文、唯职称、唯学历、 7 awards, inspection of weight loss, information sharing, crowdfunding and other actions. In 2020, the "Notice on Special Actions on Special Actions on Continuing to Develop Scientific Researchers' Benefits and Stimulates Innovation Vitality" was issued, and the "burden reduction operation 2.0" was launched.

This "burden reduction 3.0" lasted for one year, and it was carried out in three stages. Before the end of September, the mobilization is widely deployed, touched the situation, and found the card point blocking point; before the end of December, complete the amendments to the measures system at the measures at the respective level; before the end of June 2023, various measures and measures are fully implemented, and the burden reduction operation will be effective.
