Abstract:At present, there is a lack of research on the evaluation of scientific and technological innovation ability in forestry and grass fields and national (recommended) standards for the evaluation of scientific and technological innovation ability in research institutes. Therefore, based on the particularity of forestry and grass industry and the positioning of forestry and grass research institutes as the source of scientific and technological innovation, this paper analyzes the evaluation practice of scientific and technological innovation ability of research institutes at home and abroad, including the evaluation system, process and orientation. In view of the real problems in the field of forestry and grass in China, such as lack of talents, weak platform strength and ineffective evaluation mechanism, this paper constructs a logical system for the evaluation of innovation ability of forestry and grass research institutes in China from the dimensions of evaluation content, subject, method and process, and the use of results, and puts forward that it is necessary to conduct a full-coverage innovation evaluation for domestic forestry and grass research institutes, that is, to distinguish different administrative levels, to ensure the collaborative support of the administrative and scientific and technological authorities of research institutes, and to conduct a full-process scientific and technological innovation evaluation, that is, scientific research itself and scientific research. Finally, combined with the practical problems faced by scientific and technological innovation of forestry and grass in China, it is proposed to build an innovation evaluation index system of forestry and grass research institutes with talent training and scientific research platform construction as the core, in order to establish a new orientation of scientific and technological innovation evaluation of forestry and grass research institutes and achieve the purpose of "promoting construction by evaluation".
