Gou in the operating room to add some upgrades

Chapter 272: Forced Funding
When Zhou Xiyin entered the department, there was nothing uncomfortable. After only a few days, he had already integrated into the work rhythm here.

When she entered the department humming a little tune and just put her things on the table, she glanced and saw Fang Xian and Wang Yang standing together, gesticulating with their hands.

"I think it's fine to just accept the money, but the purpose of giving this money is obvious, that is, to speed up our progress!"

"Now that the work has just been completed, there is no way to speed it up. People can't be used like animals." Wang Yang gestured with his hands, saliva flying from his mouth, which made Zhou Xiyin curious.

"Also, we haven't applied for any fees yet. The main reason is that under the current conditions, it's not time to inject our own talents to promote development."

"Now that they are forcing their way in, the pressure on us will increase..." Fang Xian also nodded and said.

At this time, Zhou Xiyin came over with a curious face, sat opposite Fang Xian, and asked curiously: "Senior Brother Fang, what are you talking about?"

Sure enough, gossip is the fourth instinct of human beings.

No one in the department was an outsider, and Zhou Xiyin was probably the only one who didn't know about this. Fang Xian pointed at the documents on the table and said, "Junior sister, this is actually a good thing for us."

"The hospital forcibly approved some project funding for the two of us. It's not much, only a few hundred thousand."

"Besides, it seems that the province has also approved it. No, here is the document."

As he said that, Fang Xian pushed the white paper on the table over. He said it was a document, but in fact it was only an A4 paper with a report on the release of research funds written on it.

"But the problem is that we don't need money for research now. We will definitely need it in the future, but not now."

"Approving the funds for the project so early is not trying to make us work harder, but it wants us to speed up the progress!"

Wang Yang looked at the document and said helplessly.

Zhou Xiyin picked up the document and looked at it again and again. She didn't know the specific meaning of it, but the general meaning that she could determine was that the two of them should take the money and devote themselves to research and development in the future. If the money is not enough, there could be more from above. Approved.

Zhou Xiyin, who understood, pushed the document back to Fang Xian, and then said with a strange expression: "Brother Fang, are you in Versailles?"

"How can the funding for this project be approved so easily? I think the higher-ups attach great importance to our project, so they approved the funding directly without going through you."

"Even if there is an intention to speed up the progress, doesn't the actual progress of the project still have to be carried out by us? Whether the speed of progress is fast or slow depends on the actual situation. There is no need to do this for this project Worrying about funding.”

Speaking of this, Zhou Xiyin thought for a moment and looked at Fang Xian and Wang Yang in front of him with strange eyes.

Are these two guys really worried about project funding?How can there be such a person...

Some people are looking forward to receiving funds, but they may not be able to get them. It's better for them. Now that the funds for the project have been approved on their own initiative, they are complaining.

Fortunately, we are all members of our own team in this department. If others heard it, they might not know what they would think.

"Hum..."

On the other side, Yang Rogguan, who was preparing to answer his essay, snorted coldly, then looked towards Fang Xian and muttered: "You don't even need money, you silly dog..."

Hearing this, Fang Xian grimaced, wondering if he was about to laugh, and asked: "I am a stupid dog, so I am Senior Brother Dog?"

Listening to the young people bickering and complaining, Associate Professor Qin Long and Associate Professor Zhong Kangqing looked at each other, and they could see a little depression in each other's eyes.

"Sigh...it's better to have the ability. Although I have applied for a national-level natural science foundation before, and it looks high-end, in fact, no hospital or medical school has approved it for the two of you."

Associate Professor Qin Long was full of emotion, and Associate Professor Zhong Kangqing beside him even smiled bitterly and sighed.

"A national-level fund?" Zhou Xiyin was surprised when he heard the words of the two associate professors, and then asked.

"It shouldn't be. I remember that the national-level fund standards are quite high. The specific implementation should not be low, right?"

Although Zhou Xiyin didn't know much about the project funds approved above, he also understood one thing, and that was the difference in level.

Regarding project funds, there are three levels: municipal level, provincial level, and national level. The project funds Fang Xian and his wife received this time are at most provincial level, and not all of them can be classified as provincial level.

Because most of the project funds are provided by the hospital, it is regarded as project fund support at the municipal level, and only a small part is provided by the province.

As Associate Professor Qin Long said, how could the national-level project funds be less than the two of them?
"This national-level project funding support is also divided into several categories. The one I got was the lowest category." Qin Long raised his right hand and began to calculate for Zhou Xiyin.

"There are five specific categories of national-level projects. The project funding established by the Ministry of Science and Technology, or the National Development and Reform Commission or the National Natural Science Foundation of China does not exceed 300 million yuan. Such projects are first-class. To put it simply, as long as they do not If it exceeds 300 million and is recognized as a first-class national project, it can be approved."

"The second-category national projects are major national science and technology projects. Under normal circumstances, the funding is similar to the first-category projects, between 200 million and 300 million. These two categories are basically the highest-level project funds. Approval."

Hearing this, Fang Xian and Wang Yang looked at each other. It seems that the project funding they received this time is still far from the national first-class and second-class!

After pausing for a while, he found that everyone was looking towards him. Qin Long also sat up straight and continued to introduce: "What I just mentioned are the first two categories, which are also the two most difficult to identify. After that, the national level three Category, it is possible for our department to apply."

"The third category includes major national science and technology special projects, as well as projects under the national key R&D plan projects. The project funding established by the National Natural Science Foundation of China is between 100 million and 200 million. Compared with the first and second categories, the third category is The most worthy of effort in our department.”

"Then there are four categories, including sub-topics of topics under the National Key R&D Plan, as well as general research of the National Natural Science Foundation, major research plan cultivation projects, etc. The set project funding is between 50 and 100 million."

“Finally, there are projects less than 50 yuan. The ones that were approved at that time were one of the five categories of national projects, the National Social Science Fund Youth Project, in addition to the National Social Science Fund special projects, etc. The five categories of national projects that were originally approved level project, the funding is not as high as this time.”

Fang Xian and others on the side couldn't help but start calculating after hearing the standards for national project funding.

Looking at it this way, the project funds they received can also meet the threshold of the national four-category projects.

"Under normal circumstances, provincial-level project funding is not so large, but recent municipal-level policies have already provided funding for projects that are comparable to national three-category-four categories." Zhong Kangqing folded his hands on the table and looked at them. He looked at Fang Xian and the others.

"The municipal level is divided into horizontal R&D projects and independent R&D projects. For our department, it should be considered an independent R&D project."

"Although it is at the municipal level, the independent research and development projects that can be rated as municipal-level first-class independent research and development projects refer to projects established by the laboratory-supporting units and the funds received are not less than 100 million yuan. The project content is based on the research of the laboratory Relevant research and development activities carried out in accordance with the direction.”

"Municipal second-category independent research and development projects are similar to national fourth-category projects. They are all projects with funds received ranging from 50 to 100 million."

"No matter how low it is, it is a municipal-level third-category independent research and development project, and the received funds are between 50 and [-]. The funds approved this time should be the project funds for municipal-level third-category independent research and development projects."

Listening to Associate Professor Zhong Kangqing's supplement, Fang Xian and others suddenly realized what level of project funding they had received this time.

National, provincial and municipal levels.

Their current project has only received project funding from municipal-level third-category independent research and development projects, and they don’t know when it will develop until it reaches the national level.

"There is one thing that I still don't understand." Associate Professor Qin Long scratched his head with an expression of incomprehension: "Generally speaking, if our project funds are to be approved, they will start from the lowest municipal level four independent categories. When a research and development project starts, the project funding is less than [-] yuan.”

"But this time, they didn't even say hello, they directly listed us in the municipal level three projects, and even sent us the money. This is a bit strange. Maybe Dr. Fang was right just now. .”

"The boss just wants us to speed up the progress."

The funding for the project was approved without saying hello, which is naturally a good thing for researchers like them because they no longer have to worry about anything.

But it is also a bad thing, because when the funds are obtained, the pressure will naturally come on. The superiors have placed great hopes on them, and they should get the results out as soon as possible.

However, the actual progress of the project cannot be accelerated at will. All links have just stabilized now, so how can we say that we should speed up?

The path of scientific research should be done step by step, one step at a time, but there is no precedent for eating a big fat man in one bite.

Even if the superiors have high hopes for them and approve scientific research funds in advance, they will not speed up scientific research because of this. Instead, this funding is still an invisible pressure.

However, Associate Professor Zhong Kangqing shook his head, looked at Fang Xian with a look of understanding, and said abruptly: "Not necessarily."

"The higher-ups are optimistic about not only this subject, but also Dr. Fang."

To be said to be the backbone of the entire functional reconstruction department, Fang Xian is well-deserved. He is also the most important part of the assigned surgical work and must not make mistakes.

The higher-ups must be aware of this situation, so instead of saying that they value the functional reconstruction department that focuses on the development of gongs and drums, it is better to say that they value Fang Xian more.

Associate Professor Qin Long understood the meaning of his words, nodded repeatedly, with an expression of understanding, and suddenly realized: "That's right, it is possible."

Hearing the two singing and praising him, Fang Xian scratched his head in embarrassment and said humbly: "No way, in this industry, I am just a primary school student, I will develop step by step and slowly."

But when he said this, Zhong Kangqing was not happy. He spread his hands and retorted: "How can you say this?"

"Dr. Fang, in the field of scientific research, you are no longer a primary school student. If you are a primary school student, then who are we? Kindergarten?"

"In the field of scientific research, it is right to develop slowly and step by step, but your progress is a bit too fast!"

"With the development of our functional reconstruction department, you can be considered to have gradually entered the palace level in the field of scientific research. Now, the title of associate researcher is not empty at all for you!"

Before Fang Xian could say another modest word, Qin Long on the opposite side spoke: "I agree with this."

"The process from zero to one is often the most difficult. Now we have a preliminary system for the development of our department, but this entire system process cannot be figured out casually."

"The higher-ups must have taken note of this, so they attach great importance to this topic of ours. I estimate that funding for municipal-level independent research and development projects in the third category is just the beginning."

"If we can make more achievements in the future and let others see the potential of the Functional Reconstruction Department, then the topics we have here will be more than enough to hit the national Category III and IV projects!"

The two associate professors exchanged words with each other and began to analyze the reasons why they attached great importance to the topic. Anyway, they were not busy with work for the time being, so they just treated it as a topic for small talk.

After hearing their description and comments of Fang Xian, Zhou Xiyin also took another look at Fang Xian, and at the same time felt a little emotional in his heart. Next to this senior brother, his halo is too big, and it is difficult to stand out from the team. .

"There is another point that I think is worth noting." Associate Professor Qin Long suddenly spoke, moving his stool sideways towards Fang Xian's position.

"Dr. Fang, are you going to be a postgraduate tutor next year?"

Fang Xian is currently teaching Li Qiu, and will take him to graduate school, or if he passes the first-level trauma surgeon certification, Fang Xian will be able to serve as a master's tutor. Counting the time, it will be next year.

"Well...if everything goes well, next year will basically be decided." Fang Xian nodded and looked at Li Qiu specifically.

Noticing Fang Xian's gaze, Li Qiu turned sideways as if to dodge, and then continued writing about the case at hand.

Upon hearing this, Qin Long clapped his hands, looked at Fang Xian with a smile, and said, "That's right."

"Don't the higher-ups value you? Although there are a lot of clinical professors in the medical field now, there are never any under the age of 30!"

In the current medical field, there are currently no active clinical professors under the age of 30.

Fang Xian may be the first one.
