With our research funding is growing, optimizing balance of funds management, increase research funding effectiveness of the significance of the more prominent.

Balance of funding is the funding for scientific research management of the important content of

Balance of funding generally refers to the implementation of the project period has ended, the items by final acceptance not columns support the project budget funds. Remaining project funds the cause of more, the presence of subjective and objective aspects. Subjective aspects include: Project Manager reporting not result in the balances; worry about the subsequent lack of project, take a conservative expenses resulting balance; multi-channel project support, project funding beyond the studies required to cause the Balances; Project Leader of the original plan to purchase equipment due to find shared resources, and to cancel the procurement plan and lead a balance and the like. Objective included due to force majeure factors, resulting in the original plan of travel, meetings, etc postponed or cancelled cause of the funding balances.

Balance of Fund management as research funding management and finally a ring, related to research funding efficiency, research funding comprehensive performance evaluation, research funding the whole process and all aspects of management objectives, etc., to optimize the balance of funds management is to research funding management of the important content. Research funding management the need for further reform and innovation balance requirements for the use and management, to improve the balance of the provision for the use of benefits, in order to strengthen the researchers body position, and fully mobilize the researchers of enthusiasm and creativity.

In fact, the state and the various levels of scientific research management Department attaches great importance to the balance requirements for the management, have introduced policies to regulate the balance of funds management. The Convention on the reform of the perfect Central financial research funding to manage the number of observations provisions of: project complete mission objectives and through a comprehensive performance evaluation, the balance of funds left return items bear units. The project assumes the unit to the balance of funds co-ordinate arrangements for the scientific research activities of direct expenditure, the priority of the original project team, research needs, and to strengthen the balance of Funds Management, the sound balance of funds disc-alive mechanism, accelerate the use of funds schedule. The National Natural Science Fund project funds management approach " and " National Social Science Fund project funds regulations and other documents are presented to strengthen the balance of Funds Management, the sound balance of funds disc-alive mechanism, accelerate the use of funds schedule.

Take measures to optimize the project financial management

Optimize the remaining project funds management needs with the science and technology system reform, research, project management closely, the need for Project Management, Project Units, and researchers to participate. On the one hand to optimize the project of the research process the requirements for the use and management in the project study process needs to be dynamic tracking of the requirements for the use of the funds remaining for the timely reminder, effectively reduce the remaining project funding; on the other hand to optimize the project to assume the units of the balance of Funds Management, Building perfect balance of funding for the integrated mechanisms, giving the project Manager the larger the balance of the provision for the right to use, to improve the provision for the use of performance. Specifically, should the following several aspects of the force.

One is to strengthen top-level design, the introduction of the balance of funds management methods and implementation details.

The system construction is to optimize the project balances for the financial management of the work of the important security. Recommendations for sector based on existing research funding management policy relates to the balance of Funds Management, the strengthening of research, in-depth understanding of the project bear unit requirements for managers, section managers, researchers, etc. in the balance of funding for the management and use of point of pain, difficulties and congestion points on the basis of a targeted manner to develop balance requirements for management methods and implementation details, so the project Manager and financial managers in the balance requirements for the use and management in rule-based, and really optimize the balance of funds management, improve the balance of the provision for the use of performance.

The second is may be appropriate to extend the project funding cycle, improve the financing amount.

As China's investment in science and technology continues to increase, as the practical security researchers to be able to a long time to focus on a particular area of research, plowing the key core technology, can be appropriate to extend the research cycle, improve project financing amount, so that the researchers can according to the project research the actual progress in the rational use of project funds, more conducive to high-level scientific and technological achievements of the output, to improve the research project overall performance level, so as to effectively reduce the balance of funding to enhance research funding the use of performance. For indeed the presence of the remaining project funding, in compliance with national fiscal rules in the case, the recommendations of the project management sector given the project to assume the units and the project head of the greater balance of funds management and use rights, to accelerate the balance of the provision for the use of progress.

The third is to strengthen the provision of information management, dynamic tracking of the requirements for the use.

To ensure balance requirements specification effective use, it should strengthen the project requirements for information management, to do good, integrated design, through technology project management and project undertaker of the requirements for the management system, establish requirements for the implementation of the whole process dynamic monitoring mechanism, so that the project management sector to keep abreast of the project the use of funds, project funds balance, to achieve dynamic tracking. In addition, you should also make full use of the project funds data, the full-chain, a dynamic master of project funds disbursed, the funds and Fund balances, financial units, integrated case information, improve the system of early warning function, the requirements for execution progress unreasonable, balances more project managers real-time alerts for the conduct of the relevant balance of funding for policy development, scientific decision-making to provide the relevant support.

Four is the propulsion requirements for the use of the information disclosed, and to strengthen the scientific integrity of the building.

Optimize the remaining project funds management, regulating the provision of reasonable use, one effective way is Propulsion provision for the use of information disclosed. Take advantage of the Internet, Big Data, Blockchain and other technologies, to get through the project management and project bear unit financial information systems, including the construction of the project requirements for the filing, funds, financial reimbursement, financial performance evaluation, etc. content of the financial information platform. To carry out financial data classification management, all appropriate disclosure of information in the information platform to be published, to accept the full supervision of the Society, Open to the public complaints, reports and other Supervisory channels. At the same time, the strengthening of researchers to research the integrity of the building, to carry out various forms of publicity and education, the specification of the project balances requirements for the use, to prevent the balance of funding for the improper use occurs.

Five is to conduct a comprehensive performance evaluation, strengthen the evaluation results are used.

The project Integrated Performance Evaluation refers to the project implementation after the expiration, according to the contract, from the project task completion and financial management use case for comprehensive evaluation. Ensure that the project integrated performance evaluation of effectiveness, the first to build a scientific and reasonable evaluation Index System, the project funds and Fund balances incorporated into the evaluation Index System, the guide project leaders focus on project requirements in a timely, standardized, efficient use; secondly, the use of qualitative and quantitative combination of a variety of evaluation methods, avoiding the single evaluation method limitations lead to the results of the evaluation of the deviation of the achieved evaluation results of the objective and fair; and finally strengthen the evaluation results of the use, the comprehensive performance evaluation results as a follow-up to support the financing of the important basis for the evaluation of the good, the priority given to the project financial support for the evaluation of the poor, in the latter part of the project application to be the focus of attention, as a project to support the important reference basis.

Six is to encourage innovative practices, summaries can be extended can be copied experience.

Policy file can be effective, the key is implementation. Number of observations provisions of the improved balance of funds managed by the project management Department, project, assume the units responsible for the implementation, the parties shall be coordinated jointly promote the implementation of the project management Department to encourage the project to assume the units of the innovative balance of funds management practices, and promote bear unit innovation initiatives landing force, and effectively get through the policy of the landing of the“last mile”. The balance of funds management policy document the development and balance of funds management for the effectiveness of the project units, and project management departments to timely promotion of its novelty and practicality of policies and concrete measures for other projects assume the units of reference and learn from.
