苏联科学院院长马尔丘克院士最近告诉苏联官方通讯社塔斯社,苏联的研究资金的分配将在各实验室公开竞争的基础上由一个“主管委员会”通过秘密投票来决定。按照过去的制度,研究资金先由国家拨给各研究所的负责人,他们再把资金分给属于其管辖的各个实验室。新的制度是为了体现戈尔巴乔夫的经济改革思想而制定的,它要求各研究所的负责人自己就必须去竞争研究资金。 Academician Martuchik, the president of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, recently told TASS, the Soviet Union's official news agency, that the distribution of research funds in the Soviet Union will be decided by a “board of directors” by secret ballot on the basis of open competition among laboratories. According to the system in the past, the research funds were first allocated by the state to the heads of the institutes who then distributed the funds to the laboratories that belonged to them. The new system, which is designed to reflect Gorbachev's economic reform ideas, requires that the heads of research institutes themselves must compete for research funding.
