Abstract

University-level research projects are a foundational component of the university research system, serving the important functions of incubating high-quality outcomes and cultivating the research capabilities of early-career faculty. However, the cultivation function of university-level research projects is currently weakened across institutions, manifesting as vague review standards, low funding amounts, lax process management, low-quality research outputs, and insufficient faculty participation. The underlying root cause lies in the “systematic loss of cultivation orientation”—institutions manage cultivation projects using the logic of competitive projects, compounded by low recognition of university-level projects in title evaluation systems, resource input constraints, and management inertia. This has led to the transformation of university-level projects from “incubators for early-career faculty academic growth” into “formalized research tasks.” Accordingly, institutions should return to the cultivation orientation and construct a coordinated cultivation system across five dimensions: positioning reconstruction, standard refinement, tiered funding, process cultivation, and evaluation incentives.
