浅析科技优先领域选择实践中的困境与误区

着眼以往科技优先领域选择相关实践中的困境和误区,剖析在价值准则、内涵认知、参与机制、评价方法、资源配置、实施机制方面的常见问题。在科技优先领域选择价值导向中隐含的实用主义倾向,易使研究工作趋于保守,难以形成系统性突破;对科技优先领域的内涵认知固化,仍以考虑研究主题或科技项目为主,与平台、机构、能力建设等其他支持渠道各自为战,难以形成组合效应;多元主体对科技优先领域的偏好差异往往被忽略,参与形式、参与程度、参与质量有待提升;在科技优先领域的形成过程中,收敛阶段的质量控制相对薄弱,易使科技优先领域重复分散;科技优先领域与资源配置的关联机制不够透明,公私部门的协调配合不足,影响创新全链条的贯通;不同实施主体之间的对话衔接机制缺失,难以形成实质协同,从而影响整体的创新表现。建议树立与科技强国目标相匹配的价值导向;处理好优先和一般、主流和非主流、大科学与小科学等结构关系;优化优先领域组合策略,提高参与质量和开放程度,改进"减法"过程设计,强化资源配置联动和实施机制安排。

Analysis on Predicaments of Research Priority Setting

Research priority setting has always been the focus issue of research management. On the base of research review, this paper focuses on six common mistakes in domestic relevant practices, including value criteria, connotation recognition, participation mechanism, evaluation method, resource allocation and implementation mechanism. Some suggestions are proposed in the context of China, including pay more attention to the value orientation, the structural relationship and methodology. Specifically, to optimize priority areas combination, improve public participation, improve the design of "subtraction" process, strengthen the linkage with resource allocation, and enhance the arrangement of implementation mechanism
