Notice of proposals collection for Key Program Topics of Shenzhen Basic Research
The principle funding source of university’s basic research grants mainly comes from Shenzhen basic research programs (including key and general program). In accordance with the deployment of Shenzhen science and technology mechanism’s reform, funding for universities' basic research will be implemented in the form of "stable funding scheme” in the next three years and the amount is directly correlation with the total funding amount of basic research which has been granted to our university. Meanwhile, faculties of the university will no longer be able to apply for key and general program of municipal basic research in future (as transition, applicants are still allowed to apply for Shenzhen basic research program this year). Therefore, the amount of the university’s research grants for inner allocation which is acquired from the "stable funding scheme” will determine the average funding intensity for each faculty. In view of the above, it is urgent to increase the number of funded municipal basic research projects and the total funding amount.
