Abstract: With the continuous investment of the nation in scientific research, the working mode and focus of scientific research management have changed obviously. Under the new situation, higher and higher requirements have been put forward for scientific research management. Although scientific research management cannot directly determine the depth and innovation degree of scientific research achievements, whether the scientific research work is progressing smoothly, how effective, and whether its results can be produced or not, depends to a large extent on the level of scientific research organization and management. Scientific research management is different from general administration. It is a business management which integrates planning, coordination and service, and it plays a leading, supporting and serving role in scientific research activities.As organizers and service providers of scientific research activities, scientific research managers need not only to be familiar with their business and understand the latest scientific and technological developments, but also to ensure the service of scientific research logistics. To a certain extent, they should play a more guiding and coordinating role. Their quality and working ability directly affect the scientific research management level of their units and scientific research managers should possess the following six basic qualities in order to achieve this goal, improve effectively the scientific research management level of the unit, and then ensure the benign operation of scientific research activities: (1) a positive attitude and meticulous work style; (2) a high level of policy understanding ability; (3) a broad knowledge and self-learning awareness; (4) a good coordination and thinking ability; (5) a strong network information management ability; and (6) a strong sense of service and willingness to be a ladder.The development and construction of scientific research management team requires not only every manager to gradually improve their ideological awareness and modern comprehensive management ability, but also the unit to create space for scientific research management personnel to improve themselves from all aspects.The specific measures are: (1) perfecting the employment mechanism, selecting talents rationally, implementing a combination of full-time and part-time personnel appointment mode, and reducing the mobility of scientific research managers; (2) paying attention to the study and training of scientific research managers, establish the corresponding training system, improve the comprehensive quality of personnel; and (3) introducing the assessment system appropriately, conducting comprehensive and multifaceted assessment, formulating and implementing an effective incentive mechanism.Only by building a high-level scientific research management team, can the important role of scientific research management be fully played in the scientific and technological innovation and talent team building of the unit.
