Everyone unanimously agrees that through the study in the reading class, we
have gained a deeper understanding of the importance and overall requirements of
strengthening the Party's work style construction, and have a deeper grasp of
the essence and essence of the Central Eight point Regulation and its
implementation rules. We will continue to make efforts to strengthen learning
and education, and effectively transform the learning results into a highly
conscious effort to temper Party spirit and strengthen work style, ensuring the
high-quality development of the scientific fund cause with excellent work
style.
The meeting pointed out that strengthening the construction of the Party's
style of work is a distinctive character of the Marxist political party to
maintain the progressiveness and purity of the Party, an inevitable requirement
to close the relationship between the Party and the masses, to consolidate the
long-term ruling foundation of the Party, and an important guarantee to promote
the reform and development of the Science Fund and accelerate the construction
of a scientific and technological power. We must grasp and promote the
construction of work style from a political perspective of firmly supporting the
"two consolidations" and resolutely upholding the "two safeguards". We must
further focus on understanding, comprehending, and implementing the work style,
highlight problem orientation, adhere to strict standards, and comprehensively
promote learning inspection and reform. We must strictly and practically
implement various tasks of learning and education.
The meeting emphasized that it is currently a critical stage for the
evaluation of the Science Foundation of China. The entire committee should
further deepen their ideological understanding, maintain strategic
determination, and effectively integrate learning and education with project
evaluation work in all aspects. We must always tighten the string of discipline,
adhere to a strict tone, strict measures, and strict atmosphere, solidly promote
the comprehensive deepening reform of the Science Fund, strengthen the
attributes of Science Fund projects, resolutely eliminate the tendency of talent
projects to be titled and labeled, continue to consolidate the achievements of
the special rectification of experts being "greeted", strictly implement the
"Regulations on Party and Government Organs Practicing Frugality and Opposing
Waste", and deeply promote the rectification of formalism to reduce the burden
on grassroots personnel, streamline culture and meetings, and implement the
requirements of "tight living" in all aspects of work. We must vigorously
promote the glorious traditions of the Party and the spirit of scientists,
cultivate a new trend of seeking truth, pragmatism, integrity, and honesty,
truly invest valuable scientific and technological resources in the most
innovative and dynamic frontline researchers, continuously improve the
effectiveness of scientific funding, and make new and greater contributions to
the construction of a strong country in science and technology.
