Abstract:Basic research talents are the foundation for strengthening basic research and promoting original innovation. A scientific and reasonable evaluation mechanism for basic research talents is the key to their growth and conducting research work. In recent years, the reform of the talent evaluation mechanism for basic research has been continuously deepened and has achieved certain results. Based on the important instructions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on deepening the reform of the basic research system and mechanism, and in response to the current problems of insufficient understanding, inadequate innovation, and incomplete implementation of the reform of the basic research talent evaluation mechanism, this article aims to further guide a correct understanding of the characteristics of basic research, gradually shift towards a trust based basic research talent evaluation mechanism, and optimize the scientific and operational nature of evaluation indicators To provide policy recommendations for accelerating the reform of the evaluation mechanism for basic research talents in China, such as determining the evaluation cycle more scientifically and reasonably.
