《国家自然科学基金条例》中的几个法律问题

Several legal issues about the“National Natural Science Fund Ordinance”

随着我国财政科技投入快速增长、科技体制改革和国家创新体系建设的推进,为了应对国家自然科学基金管理实践中出现的新情况,《国家自然科学基金条例》亟待修改。本文重点讨论了国家自然科学基金委的项目设定权、规章制定权,依托单位的地位及其职责,科学基金管理中的法律责任以及特殊项目的管理程序等法律问题。建议在《条例》中明确规定国家自然科学基金委的项目设定权和规章制定权;明确依托单位的法律地位为"基金资助项目实施和项目资金管理的责任主体",同时增加规定依托单位在资金管理和在目成果共享与转化方面的职责;完善国家自然科学基金管理中各主体的法律责任体系;授权基金管理机构对于特殊资助项目另行制定具体办法。

With the rapid growth of financial investment in science and technology, science and technology system reform and the promotion of the national innovation system, in order to respond to the new situa- tion in the management practice of National Natural Science Foundation, the ＂National Natural Science Fund Ordinance＂ needs urgent changes. It mainly discusses the project setting right, the administrative rulemaking authority, the position and responsibility of the relied units, legal liability and the specific pro- jects management procedures, etc. It suggests clearing the project setting right and the administrative rule- making authority of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, clearing the legal status of the relied units as the dominant position in the funded projects implement and the management of the fund. At the same time, it adds the duty of relied units in fund management and the sharing and conversion of the fruits. It also improves the legal liability system and authorize the fund management institutions to make rules of the specific projects.
