ABSTRACT
Objective:Principal Investigator (PI) system is the most common model of scientific research organization and management in colleges and universities. PI is the head of the laboratory or the leader of the research team who has the authority to manage the supporting team, funds, and space (laboratory). We aim to explore the advantages and problems of the PI system implementation and deeply understand how to effectively and scientifically manage the project management, personnel coordination, and fund use of the entire team to promote the scientific research output of the PI platform of medical schools in China.Methods:By concluding and analyzing the management experience and main bottlenecks of PI laboratories at home and abroad, and summarizing our center's experience in assisting the management of PI laboratories in life sciences, we explored a new model of PI system development suitable for China.Results:Under PI system, the person in charge systematically learns to operate his or her laboratory scientifically. Perfection and improvement of the methodologies of team formation, laboratory public affairs management, and laboratory fund management can effectively avoid existing problems and follow the intrinsic laws of scientific research development and truth-seeking, promote the development in discipline development, interdisciplinary cooperation, personnel training, and study style construction.Conclusions:As the leader and manager of the scientific research team, PI is critical to the development of scientific research in universities in China. The incubation of a new scientific management model for the PI team is conducive to promoting the scientific and technological innovation of the PI team and the long-term development of scientific research institutions.
ABSTRACT
The paper introduced the general picture of Xiangya Hospital in the past five years in its development of ahigh-level research hospital of international influence.Aiming at this strategic goal, the hospital proceeds by means of discipline development,talent training,research platform building, international academic exchange,performance appraisal and incentive,budget guarantee and system development.All these efforts contribute to the building of a mutual-supportive,efficient and sustainable medical science innovation system tailored to large hospitals.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the sustainable innovative ability of science and technology (S &T) of four large general hospitals from three different regions of China(Chongqing, Shaanxi and Hunan) with an evaluation system. Method The data collected were processed with normalization method. The evaluation models were established and varied in design to reflect either the dynamic trends or the levels of innovative abilities in different hospitals. Results Hospital A, B and D took on an ascending trend in sustainable S & T ability for innovation, while hospital C showed a descending trend in recent years. Overall, hospital A and D had a stronger sustainable S & T ability for innovation than hospital B and C. Conclusion The eval-uation system established is able to reflect the levels and trends of sustainable S & T innovative ability of the selected hospitals, which is in accordance with the actual situations, and is therefore scientific and feasible.It could provide reference for hospital S & T administrators to make decisions and is favorable to the sustainable development of hospital's S & T innovative ability.
