　　Science and technology are the primary productive force. With the development of modern technology, science and technology have a profound impact in various fields; those who possess more advanced scientific and technological capabilities will have greater influence on the international stage. http://www.levelmeter.cn/uploads/image/20180802/1533200488.jpg The instrumentation industry, as an important part of the manufacturing sector, plays a vital role in industrial production. However, there are still significant problems in areas such as the research and development of core technologies. On the one hand, foreign companies hold a large share of the market in our country, leaving significant room for growth in the domestic instrumentation industry. On the other hand, as the demand market continues to expand, the need for instruments and meters is also increasing. Only by continuously improving the level of research and development in instrumentation can we further advance the effort to build a strong manufacturing nation in China. 　　At present, the research and development of scientific instruments in our country generally relies on the establishment of key projects in scientific research institutions and universities, as well as financial and other forms of support. Recently, the State Council issued several notices on measures to optimize scientific research management and improve research performance, granting research professionals greater autonomy in project development. 　　On the one hand, researchers have more autonomy in choosing and adjusting technical approaches, and on the other hand, they also have greater control over the management of funds. The person in charge of a research project can, as required by the project, form a research team on their own in accordance with relevant regulations, and make corresponding adjustments based on the progress of the project’s implementation. Apart from equipment costs, the project undertaking entity has the authority to adjust expenses under other categories within the direct costs. 　　In addition to autonomy in research and development, the compensation for scientific researchers will also see a significant increase. Regarding reward mechanisms, the notice emphasizes the need to improve the mechanism for deep integration of industry, academia, and research driven by scientific and technological achievements, and to provide relevant personnel with equity incentives for the commercialization of such scientific achievements. At the same time, the cash rewards obtained by researchers for the commercialization of job-related scientific and technological achievements are included in the total amount of performance-based pay for their respective units in that year; however, they are not subject to any limits on this total amount and are not taken into account as part of the base figure for such totals. 　　Regarding the inspection process for research projects, the notice states that various evaluations, inspections, random checks, audits, and other such activities during the implementation period of these projects will be reduced ； Separate financial and technical inspections will no longer be conducted individually ； Enable multiple uses for one table ； Avoid repeated inspections or multiple inspections of the same project within the same year. Through these measures, efforts are made to reduce the pressures on researchers other than those related to research and development. 　　It is worth mentioning that in terms of the management of instrument procurement, it has also become more flexible. Next, universities and research institutions will simplify the procurement process for scientific research instruments and equipment. For those devices and supplies that are urgently needed for research, a special procurement mechanism will be adopted, allowing purchases to be made promptly without going through bidding procedures, thereby reducing the procurement time frame ； For instruments and equipment that are exclusively licensed or produced, procedures shall be followed to determine methods such as single-source procurement. For some high-quality instruments, improved purchasing flexibility and convenience bring great benefits. 　　Currently, with the ongoing trade wars, only those with the capability to develop core technologies can truly achieve the goal of building our country into a manufacturing powerhouse. As the main actors in research and development, scientists play a crucial role. By implementing these measures, the pressure on researchers can be reduced, and policy support helps them focus entirely on their work and develop more new products.
