关于国家重点实验室科研组织形式的思考

Thinking on the State Key Laboratory Organization of Scientific Research

目前国家重点实验室进入了新的发展阶段,主流的科研组织形式——PI制已经不能充分适应科技发展和国家重点实验室发展的需求。分子生物学国家重点实验室借鉴大项目管理所采用的首席科学家负责制,在重点实验室管理中引入研究团队及研究团队负责人负责制,提出一种复合型的科研组织形式——"点-群-阵"结构。通过合理的队伍构建和资源配置,PI既能以研究组为基本单元进行自由探索,又可组成团队发挥群体优势、联合攻关。

In the era of independent creativity and innova- tion, State Key Laboratories have come to a new develo- ping stage that PI （Principal Investigator） system, the dominant scientific research organizing structure at pres- ent, is not sufficient for developing scientific technolo- gies or improving State Key Laboratories. Accordingly, the concept of research groups and corresponding re- sponsible scientists was introduced in the State Key La- boratory of Molecular Biology for laboratory manage- ment. This was derived from the mode for managing ma- jor projeets in which the ehief scientist is responsible for the project progress, and thus initiated a complex scien- tific research organizing structure - the ＂individual-clus- ter-group array＂ system. As a result of rational team composition and resource alloeation, Principal Investi- gators are not only able to explore their own research in- terests and specific researeh areas within individual re- search groups, but also form clusters and cooperate in grouped research projects to make greater contribution to scientifie progress.
