Abstract: Strengthening mathematical research aiming at the national strategic needs and major frontier problems is conducive to promoting mathematics research to play a more important strategic role in national development and international competition. This study analyzes the basic characteristics of mathematical research, summarizes the international experiences in funding mathematical research, and then deeply analyzes the major problems of Chinese funding mechanisms for mathematical research, such as the lack of overall planning, the short of sustainable and stable support, and the urgent need to improve the training, selecting, and funding mechanism for high-level mathematical talents. It also puts forward some policy suggestions, namely, improving the overall funding level of mathematics research, strengthening the stable support for high-level mathematical talents and bases, promoting the integration of mathematics and other disciplines, and building and stably supporting a high-level international mathematics exchange center.

Abstract: This paper sorts out and clarifies the concept of strategic basic research, and summarizes the international experiences in supporting strategic basic research. On this basis, it analyzes the main problems in supporting strategic basic research in China, such as the lack of top-level design, unclear funding objects, and insufficient sustainable and stable support. Some suggestions are put forward, such as setting up an independent strategic basic research program, taking the national strategic forces as the main forces to organize and implement the strategic basic research program, and establishing a dual-track supporting model that coordinates the directional project funding and the institutional block funding.

Abstract: How to fund and manage major scientific projects of scientific frontier or national needs, including topic selection, funding programs, performance evaluation, etc., is an urgent problem facing in China. In this study, the federal government of the United States funding and organizing research on the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease was studied to reveal the key mechanisms behind its significant progress. It is found that the United States has formed a set of relatively mature and effective financial support mechanism in science and technology projects, including organization and mobilization, object management, performance evaluation, budget evaluation. This set of mechanism is the base for performance management of major scientific projects, and also the foundation of financial effectiveness. This research studied the practices and experiences of the United States. in funding and managing major scientific projects, and also raised important implication for China.

Abstract: Nowadays, convergent scientific research paradigm provides opportunities and challenges to solve major economic and social problems. Promoting convergent science and its required data sharing at the institutional level is a common concern of the scientific and technological circles. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is the originator of convergent science, and also established a specialized agency with this new paradigm. In this study, the Koch Institute, which is engaged in convergent science in MIT, is taken as an example to summarize and analyze arrangement of the institute in promoting data sharing, facilities and working environment, training, funding, scientific research project setting related to convergent science. As a conclusion it provides reference for the implementation of convergent science and data sharing at the institutional level.

Abstract: “Convergence Science” is a new paradigm of scientific research based on multi-disciplinary integration to solve grand problems, which is considered as a new opportunity for human beings to address major economic and social problems. Promoting “Convergence Science” means the fundamental change of scientific research ecology, one of the most basic aspects is the open sharing of data. Based on the basic characteristics of “Convergence Science” as a new paradigm of scientific research, this study puts forward new requirements of “Convergence Science” in terms of basic data, such as the whole disciplines, the whole processes and the full panorama, and then introduces the successful practice of open data supporting “Convergence Science”. Finally, it looks forward to the future prospect of promoting “Convergence Science” with “open data”.
