Abstract: With the development and the reform of the national higher education system, the scientific research has played an important role nowadays in Chinese universities. Universities have gradually shifted from the teaching-oriented direction of cultivating students to the direction of paying equal attention to teaching and scientific research, so as to truly realize the three main function of higher education that are:personnel training, scientific research and social service.In the process of transformation of university development strategy, scientific research has become an important part of the development of University work. With the increasing status of university scientific research work, the management of university scientific research needs to be constantly improved and improved.In order to promote the development and progress of scientific research management in colleges and universities, the secondary scientific research management system emerges at the right moment and develops accordingly. How to improve the efficiency and level of scientific research management needs to promote the secondary scientific research management system in colleges and universities, that is, the secondary scientific research management system in colleges and universities.Throughout the world′s top universities, the governance structure of hierarchical management is basically adopted to enhance the vitality and innovation ability of grassroots academic organizations, and improve the level of school running and scientific research. With the continuous enhancement of China′s economic strength, the knowledge economy has made great progress in the scientific and technological work in colleges and universities. At the same time, the relatively old management mode and management system can no longer adapt to the rapid development of scientific research activities in colleges and universities.For modern colleges and universities, relative to teaching, the status of scientific research has become more and more important, but the standardized rules and regulations of scientific research management need to be further improved. If the traditional management departments of colleges and universities are directly faced with the vertical management model of departments, then the secondary colleges (departments) only passively accept management, and there will be a lack of initiative of scientific research in the long run. The initiative leads to the situation of indiscriminate responsibilities and difficult coordination, which will hinder the development of scientific research in schools. Therefore, it is obviously necessary and important to establish and improve the secondary scientific research management system and operation mechanism of colleges and departments in Colleges and universities for the construction of a secondary scientific research management system suitable for teaching/research universities.The author′s university is a research university which has been built for less than 10 years. Since its establishment, with the continuous expansion of school scale, the existing centralized linear management model has gradually shown its in-adaptability, which is not conducive to the improvement of school management efficiency, nor it is conducive to stimulating the vitality and development power of academic grass-roots organizations. It has hindered the rapid development of scientific research in schools.Based on the relevant research work of our university, the author makes some analysis and reflection on the necessity of the secondary management of scientific research in universities, the current situation of the construction of the secondary management system of scientific research in universities, and the strategiesfor construction of the management system of scientific research in secondary colleges of universities, and puts forward his own suggestions.
