I. Introduction

Innovation is the first driving force leading economic development. As an important part of the innovation system, technological innovation plays a vital role in the national economy. According to the deployment of the central government, as the highest institution of education, the university bears the important task of delivering high-level talents to the country. In 2015, the State Council first put forward the grand goal of my country's universities and disciplines to enter the forefront of the world within a certain period time in the “Overall Plan for Promoting the Construction of World-Class Universities and First-Class Disciplines in an Overall Plan”. In 2016, the Ministry of Education put forward higher requirements for national development and scientific and technological work in universities in the “13th Five-Year Plan for Science and Technology Development of Higher Education Institutions”. In 2018, the “Notice of the State Council on Several Measures for Optimizing Scientific Research Management and Improving Scientific Research Performance” requires that all central fiscal science and technology plans (special projects, funds, etc.) projects be included before the end of the year, and the national science and technology plan guidelines are regularly issued and publicized promptly. With the national policy leaning toward scientific research in universities, R&D funding has been increasing year after year, and the imbalance of scientific research input and output in universities, the differentiation of institutions, and the uneven abilities of scientific research personnel are becoming more and more serious. How to apply scientific research funds to the “knife-edge” has become a problem that needs to be solved urgently^[1].
