Abstract

Original basic research is a key driving force for the development of science and technology, as well as the source of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. To further encourage and support originality and innovation, the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) implemented the original exploratory program as one of its priorities for deepening reform. In this paper, the concept and characteristics of original basic research are analyzed, and the funding orientation of foreign major science funding agencies on original basic research projects is investigated. This study further discusses the connotation and positioning of the original basic research, and puts forward specific suggestions for promoting the discovery and identification of original ideas and optimizing the application and review management of the original exploratory program.
