Invested 1.56 billion yuan national major scientific research plan this year to develop 64 items

The National Major Scientific Research Program continues to focus on forward-looking deployment this year. It has established a total of 64 projects in six areas including protein research, quantum control research, nano-science research, development and reproduction research, global change research, and stem cell research, with a total investment of 1.56 billion yuan. RMB.

At the same time, the well-known 973 Program (ie, the National Basic Research Program for Basic Research) has set a total of more than 1 billion yuan in this year's fund, striving to make basic research achievements benefit hundreds of millions of people, and its project deployment has five characteristics:

The first is to pilot 11 major scientific problem-oriented projects such as “High-temperature superconducting materials and physics research”; the second is the establishment of a new manufacturing and engineering science field; and the third is to start the implementation of nearly 20 large-scale oil and gas development, optoelectronic devices, infectious diseases, Major projects related to national science and technology, such as new drug creation, integrated circuits, large-scale equipment, earth observation, and manned space flight; Fourth, strategic development around energy conservation and environmental protection, electric vehicles, new energy, biotechnology, new generation information technology, new materials, etc. Nearly 30 projects have been deployed in the industry; Fifth, the backbone of food crops, rice molecular design breeding, soil carbon sequestration in natural forests and grasslands, electromagnetic radiation, airborne particulate matter, health, atherosclerosis, pathogenesis of type II diabetes, major engineering catastrophes Nearly 40 projects have been deployed in high-speed trains and speeds up to 500 kilometers per hour to strengthen support for agriculture and people's livelihood.

It is reported that during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, the 973 Plan and the National Major Scientific Research Plan have invested a total of 11.5 billion yuan in national funding, initiated 497 projects, supported nearly 30,000 scientific research personnel, and obtained more than 130,000 patents for inventions.
