The department responsible for approving projects at the Ministry of Science and Technology is extremely diligent in its work, adhering to a principle that requires strict scrutiny regardless of who or what project is involved.
Every investment made comes from government allocations, and a good number of approved projects, frankly speaking, yield no output.
Lack of output from project development is related to the researchers' capabilities, the project's difficulty, and also the project itself, since some studies intrinsically lack significance.
No matter the situation of the project, the project approval department at the Ministry of Science and Technology must tightly safeguard the process, and there are set procedures for reviewing different types of projects.
For example, based on the requested funds.
Generally speaking, research projects applied for by individual researchers do not exceed one million RMB.
