Abstract:Based on the theory of coordinated government, This paper analyses the paths, characteristics and prominent problems of reform of central and local S&T programs projects and funds management since 2014, and puts forward the ideas for further improvement, that is, to further strengthen the guidance and information communication of the central government, promote local consensus in key areas, coordinate reform and innovation, and promote each other; to further clarify procedures and rules, unify system norms, and establish joint decision-making and supervision mechanism. At the same time, specific suggestions are put forward in terms of strengthening the coordination of S&T programs, fund supervision, construction of project management professional organizations, and implementation of scientific research integrity requirements, so as to better exert synergy effect and expand the impact and role of reform policies.
