Comprehensive management of research budgets in agricultural research Institutes in China

摘要

Over the years, increasing attention has been focused on the implementation rather than the preparation of research budgets in the agricultural research institutes in China. It resulted in unscientific and irrational budgeting of research funds. The practical implementation of research funds has also been adversely affected. After investigating three provincial-level institutes for agricultural research, we analyzed the problems as well as their root causes with regards to budgeting and implementation of research funds. The possible solutions and suggestions are finally highlighted.
