Abstract： Innovation always originates from scientific research (basic research and applied research). Investing in scientific research can create new products and new industries, and bring continuous and huge profit. It appeals to a wide range of social investment from market to fund scientific research in recent years. Such economical return, however, is often thwarted by the high risk and uncertainty of scientific research. The main obstacle to the social investments funding scientific research is analyzed in this paper and then some examples are presented as well. It illustrates that it is crucial for public policy to shorten the gap between the science and market in order to make it easier for all kinds of social capital to support innovation. The main challenge for policy makers is to determine the priority of innovation and to reduce the risks, and it is of great essence to construct a supportive system for social investment funding scientific research.

Abstract： Although public research institutes are very important for the national innovation development, the theoretical and empirical research on the institutions has been neglected for a long time. Today, under the background that the United States, Germany, and other countries rethinking the development orientation and mode of their national laboratories while the Chinese starting the construction of national laboratories, it is particularly urgent to carry out relevant theoretical research. Based on the understanding of the evolution of national scientific research institutions’ mission, it is worth of trying to construct the classification model of national scientific research institutions by using institutional logic theory, providing decision-making reference for advancing classified management of national research institutions.

Abstract： Institutionalizing evidence-based policy making on ominous events is a significant part of the China’s modernization of state governance system and capacity. Yet the relationship between science and policy in China is now facing more serious challenges in the context of social transformation confronting contemporary complexity and uncertainty. Coronavirus pandemic signs a series of difficulties on evidence-based policy through the hot discussion on the interaction of science and policy in China, which was also revealed by the “herd immunity” policy in the UK. Based on the historical frameworks of decisionist, technocratic and reversed (or the two-stages) models, which are applied to analyze the role of science in public policy, this study suggests that a new integrated and coordinated model should be built while reconsidering the role of science and avoiding the difficulties of science into policy. The basic components and the challenges of the new model to lead to a state governance system are also illustrated and analyzed.
