Abstract

Abstract:

[Objective] Evolution of the strategic direction of federal government-led basic research in the United States is studied in order to provide a reference plan for promoting China’s development of scientific and technological innovation. [Methods] This paper mainly conducts an in-depth analysis from the three dimensions: basic research legal documents, federal funding for basic research, and related government technology reports. [Results] The adjustment of the strategic direction of federal government-led basic research in the United States has obvious characteristics of organizational scientific research. [Conclusions] The federal government-led basic research in the United States itself is a kind of national strategic research, and the evolution of its direction presents a trend from divergence to concentration.

Key words: basic research, subject direction, strategic direction
