科学基金项目实施过程管理研究——基于质量问责视角

How to manage the NSFC ongoing projects:a quality accountability perspective

目前国家自然科学基金资助项目面临越来越大的绩效压力,随着资助绩效滞后性和资助年限延长,项目实施过程对于科学基金资助绩效的重要性日益凸显,为此亟需完善项目实施过程的管理。项目实施过程管理能够通过问责项目质量提高科学基金资助绩效。研究发现,当前科学基金过程管理的问责现状难以涵盖项目质量的全部要求,项目组应对现阶段过程管理问责时采取的认知策略也不利于科学基金提升资助绩效。以质量问责视角重新设计的项目实施过程管理机制,能够完善上述不足并解决现有问题,进而保障和提升科学基金资助绩效。

Nowadays, the National Natural Science Foundation of China（NSFC） is facing the situation of high performance pressure. As the lagging effect of the NSFC projects performance and the extending grant period of project, the significance of project implementa- tion for the funding performance is increasingly prominent. Hence, there is an urgent need for improving the ongoing projects manage- ment. To promote the funding performance, the management of NSFC ongoing projects can resort to the quality accountability of pro- jects. However, the current situation of the ongoing projects management can hardly cover all the demands of project quality in terms of accountability. And occasionally, the cognitive strategies which adopted by project groups to cope with the accountability are also disad- vantageous to the NSFC funding performance. So, this paper constructed a management mechanism of NSFC ongoing projects from the perspective of the quality accountability, in order to improve the current project management and enhance the NSFC funding perform- ance
