西亚试剂：the main competitive government funding initiatives will be

By 2017， the main competitive government funding initiatives will be eliminated. This includes the ’863′ and ’973′ programmes， two channels for large grants that have been at the heart of modern China’s development of science and technology infrastructure since being established in 1986 and 1997， respectively.

The government announcement noted that wastefulness and fragmented management has led to overlaps and inefficient use of funds for science and technology， and the need for a unified platform for distributing grants. As new funding programmes have been added over the years， competitive funding has become divided among some 100 competitive schemes overseen by about 30 different governmental departments.

Although efforts to reorganize science in China are already underway， the latest reform will be comprehensive. Science and technology spending by the central government was 77.4 billion yuan renminbi (US$12.6 billion) in 2006 but jumped to 236 billion yuan renminbi in 2013， 11.6% of the central government’s direct public expenditure. Some 60% of this is competitive funding， and subject to change under under the new reforms. To maintain stability， the overhaul will not affect the remaining 40%， which covers operation costs for research institutes and key state laboratories。
