Since it involves conducting various experints, the tifra of a project can span from a few weeks to several months, even half a year, and perhaps much longer for significant projects.
Compared to math and computer science, one could say there are pros and cons!
Zhao Yi is still very interested in biodical research because the impact of dical research is very direct.
Although he is not at the forefront of healing and saving people directly, the research in dicine and helping identify disease-fighting thods certainly have greater significance.
Zhao Yi has started considering the next project.
The Rheumatoid Arthritis project can be concluded, and the remaining mundane research tasks can be assigned to other laboratories. Certainly, there will be more breakthroughs in the future.
Zhao Yi went to the lab and discussed the problem of the next project with Ai Lixin, Zhang Wei, and Liu Chengjie.
None of them had any ideas.
Given their staffing, it’s not feasible to simultaneously undertake several projects, especially right after the Rheumatoid Arthritis project.
They’re virtually out of work now.
Ai Lixin brought up a point, "Don’t rush about the project. We have just completed a project and have no work at hand, so we don’t need to look for it ourselves. Director Yan will definitely assign tasks.’
"The institute assigns tasks?" Zhao Yi heard this for the first ti.
"Of course."
Zhang Wei laughed, "Otherwise, everyone would be getting paid for nothing."
"Well... that’s true." Zhao Yi realized.
Just like what Ai Lixin said, they didn’t have to wait long before Yan Xuelin found them.
Yan Xuelin didn’t co to assign a project directly but to discuss the application for several projects with Zhao Yi’s lab.
"What type?"
"AIDS Prevention and Treatnt."
Yan Xuelin defined the scope directly, "The National Natural Science Foundation has released a budget for AIDS prevention and treatnt research. The investnt for next year will be around 130 million. We strive to secure 10 million in funding for our institute."
After stating the matter, Yan Xuelin explained to Zhao Yi for fear that he wouldn’t understand.
AIDS prevention and treatnt are global issues. The World Health Organization and the United Nations are involved, and every year, vast funds are invested, and major research projects are issued for bidding by research institutes from different countries.
The Biodical Research Institute will also participate in the bidding of international AIDS projects. However, it would be challenging due to research level limitations, compared to world-class dical research institutions, there is still a certain gap.
Moreover, international projects should asure the overall research level of a country.
Currently, in the competition between dostic and foreign institutes, we are at a disadvantage. The Biodical Research Institute is just one institution that needs strong state support to bid.
AIDS prevention and treatnt is also strongly emphasized at ho.
The National Natural Science Foundation invests a certain budget in AIDS prevention and treatnt each year. Part of it will be spent on research. The Biodical Research Institute is one of the leading dical research institutes in the country and naturally should be involved in the research.
To participate in AIDS prevention and treatnt research, the institute must apply for relevant projects.
That’s why Yan Xuelin ca. He knew that Zhao Yi’s lab doesn’t currently have a project, so he wanted them to apply for one.
Such budgeted research projects, as long as approved, would get funded, and the leftover money would typically be allotted to the institute.
This is how the institute maintains its developnt.
Of course.
If a project is applied for but not completed for a long ti, it would be the institute’s responsibility. No one needs to shoulder individual responsibility, but accumulation of too many uncompleted projects would stain the reputation of the institute as a whole.
"I see."
After listening to Yan Xuelin, Zhao Yi gently nodded, "I will discuss with the mbers of my lab to see what kind of project we can do."
"Good."
Yan Xuelin reminded, "Rember to apply for several."
Applied projects may not necessarily get approved. Applying for several may increase the chances of approval. Applying for more is a kind of pressure. As research funding is issued, it can be handed over to other labs in the institute to do it together.
"Also..."
Yan Xuelin hesitated and then said, "Next week, there will be a conference on AIDS prevention and treatnt organized by the National Natural Science Foundation. Many experts from the dical field will be there. Would you like to attend?"
"Okay."
This ti, Zhao Yi agreed readily.
He had almost no knowledge about AIDS prevention and treatnt projects. Attending the AIDS prevention and treatnt conference may teach him more, which could facilitate project application.
