Project background of featured key disciplines

The construction of "Characteristic Key Discipline Project" takes the national key discipline of non-"2 1 1 Project" schools as the construction scope, and its purpose is to further improve the teachers' level of characteristic key disciplines, strengthen the construction of discipline echelon, enhance the training ability of innovative talents, and strive to improve the training quality of all kinds of talents including undergraduates, master students and doctoral students. At the same time, closely combined with the needs of national, industry, regional development and discipline construction, enrich and improve the teaching and research conditions of key disciplines with characteristics, and improve the modern equipment level and scientific and technological innovation ability of high-level personnel training and high-level scientific research output bases.

"Key Discipline Project with Characteristics" was implemented on 20 10. The Ministry of Education will provide about 3.5 million yuan of funding every year, with a three-year cycle, and local governments will also provide matching funds for the project. There are 74 universities in China, including Capital Normal University, Shanghai Normal University, changchun university of science and technology, Nanjing Forestry University and Kunming University of Science and Technology. Implementing the "Characteristic Key Discipline Project" is an important measure to improve the quality of higher education and enhance the ability of independent innovation. The implementation of this project will help to build a perfect key construction system of higher education, improve the ability of key disciplines with characteristics to serve national and regional economic and social development and industries, and help to build high-level universities with characteristics. By implementing the "Characteristic Key Discipline Project", exploring experience and establishing a mechanism, the quality of personnel training, discipline level and social service ability will be improved, and the construction of key disciplines will be pushed to a new height. Relevant universities, especially those in the original industry, should further deepen and improve the reform of higher education management system through the implementation of "key disciplines with characteristics", keep close contact with the industry, highlight the advantages of disciplines, and especially work hard at a high level with characteristics; It is necessary to strengthen the service for the development of the industry, strive for policy support, project support and financial support from the industry, and create a more favorable external environment for the development of schools and disciplines.

According to [2010] No.3 Notice of the Teaching and Research Section on Doing a Good Job in Compiling the Construction Scheme of Key Discipline Projects with Characteristics, the annual control quota of special funds from the central government to support key discipline projects with characteristics is: humanities and social sciences management projects (two disciplines) 1.7 million, and science, agriculture and medicine 3.5 million. "Featured key disciplines, (first-class disciplines) are calculated according to the number of national key disciplines of the first two disciplines identified by the first-class disciplines, and those without two disciplines (optical engineering and traditional Chinese medicine) are calculated according to twice of the same kind (two disciplines).
