In response to changes in the global technological competitive landscape, China has continued to reform
its science and technology management system, with scientific research institutions evolving towards innovation
oriented mechanisms and structures. At the same time, with the rapid growth in research projects, issues in the
management of research funding have become increasingly apparent. These include a lack of awareness regarding end
to-end management of research funds, information asymmetry in budget management, and a weak sense of financial
accountability among researchers. These factors have placed higher demands on the efficiency of research fund
utilisation and the standard of financial oversight within scientific research institutions. From the perspective of financial
and accounting oversight, and drawing on the practical experience of J Research Institute, this paper examines the
development of a full-lifecycle management system. It further explores models for the supervision of research funding,
elucidates the significance of financial and accounting oversight in the full-lifecycle management of project funds, and
highlights the empowering effect of such oversight on research funding.
