Promote the construction of national intellectual property demonstration universities and pilot units for the empowerment reform of post scientific and technological achievements of the Ministry of Science and Technology, and have issued and implemented the "Measures for Implementing Several Opinions of the Ministry of Education, China National Intellectual Property Administration and the Ministry of Science and Technology on Improving the Patent Quality of Colleges and Universities and Promoting the Transformation and Application" (No.39 [2021] of Xijiaoke), established and improved the patent pre-application evaluation system, laid out and cultivated high-value patents, and made efforts to improve the patent quality; Drafted and formulated the "Provisions on Granting Long-term Use Rights to Scientific Research Personnel", optimized and improved the transformation process of scientific research personnel’s post scientific and technological achievements, released the transformation vitality of scientific research personnel’s achievements, improved the efficiency of high-quality scientific and technological achievements, promoted the cooperation between science and education and the integration of production and research, and actively accelerated the transformation of school scientific and technological achievements into the driving force of social and economic development.

Deepen the improvement of scientific research organization mode, highlight organized scientific research, take "big projects, big platforms, big teams and big achievements" as the main starting point, optimize the allocation of scientific research resources, set up interdisciplinary project research teams, innovatively set up youth innovation teams, interdisciplinary teams and major innovation teams, and gather high-level scientific research talent teams; Actively explore the scientific research mode of "revealing the list and taking the lead", implement the chief scientist responsibility system, comprehensively enhance the contribution of science and technology, start and support the first batch of "from 0 to 1" frontier centers and "stuck neck" problem research centers in the 14 th Five-Year Plan, strengthen the frontier exploration of basic research and break through the "stuck neck" problem, and contribute strength and wisdom to the realization of national high-level science and technology self-reliance.

Grasping the opportunity of development in the first year of the 14th Five-Year Plan, the Research Institute practices the work style of "going to the institute, meeting professors and seeking development", strictly controls the implementation progress according to the project time node, and completes the corresponding application, review and filing for major adjustments encountered in the project implementation.

With regard to the National Natural Science Foundation, on the basis of organizing the work report and work deployment meeting of the National Natural Science Foundation in 2021, we actively contacted the schools and colleges to organize the declaration, publicity and mobilization of the 2022 National Natural Science Foundation projects. He went to the School of Mechanical Engineering, the School of Aerospace, the School of Dynamic Engineering, the School of Chemical Engineering, the College of Materials and the College of Human Settlements to mobilize fund application, served the application and preparation of teachers and students, and organized various forms of fund application counseling reports, which effectively helped teachers and students improve the quality of their applications and strive to achieve better results in the work of the National Natural Science Foundation.

In terms of national key research and development plans, adhere to the "professional" fine service of project declaration, effectively strengthen the organization, review and submission of application materials, and ensure that all projects pass the formal review of "zero problems"; For the project led by the school, relevant experts were invited to organize more than 20 pre-evaluation meetings and pre-defense meetings in the school, which effectively improved the application quality and defense level of the project; Co-ordinate the start-up, mid-term inspection, closing acceptance and other important links of the research project to ensure the smooth implementation and closing of the project. Up to now, the school has led the approval of 22 national key R&D projects, with the approved funds exceeding 200 million yuan, and the number of projects and funds have reached record highs. Among them, special projects have been established for the first time in many basic research fields such as nanotechnology and physical state regulation; There are 9 major projects above 10 million, and a single project of hydrogen energy technology has been approved with 49.5 million yuan, which is a record high for the national key R&D plan projects.

Further improve the construction of scientific research management information system. Scientific Research Institute actively implements the national "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services" reform, practices "I do practical things for teachers and students", and continues to deepen the process reengineering of scientific research management. On the basis of continuously introducing online processing modules such as bidding, contract signing and examination, horizontal outsourcing contract signing and examination, pre-borrowing bills and payment processing, horizontal project management aims at the pain and difficulty of teachers’ horizontal projects, such as difficult completion, complicated procedures and long time. After more than three years and more than a thousand times of testing and polishing, the online closed-loop processing mode of "horizontal scientific research project" management from bidding to project closing and closing has been completely realized, the scientific research information processing chain has been optimized and improved, the management efficiency has been improved, and time and energy have been further saved for Teachers’ Day.

The "Xi ‘an Jiaotong University Intellectual Property Lifecycle Management System" was completed. Carry out the spirit of the latest document of national intellectual property reform, establish and improve the evaluation management system before patent application, accelerate the reform of empowerment of post scientific and technological achievements, complete the construction of the "intellectual property life cycle management system of Xi ‘an Jiaotong University" and push it to schools, launch and implement the "intellectual property operation 123" strategy, build an intellectual property management system integrating patent application, patent evaluation, achievement transformation and other functions, and solve the difficult problem of intellectual property application for teachers and students. The school’s ability to create, protect and use intellectual property rights has been comprehensively improved, and a new management system of intellectual property rights has been formed throughout the whole process of teaching and scientific research, which has improved the efficiency of intellectual property management in the school and effectively served the application and management of intellectual property rights for teachers and students.
