For the universities to act effectively as the forerunner of the future, diversity in research subjects and flexibility to adapt research subjects or directions to social needs are essential. This can be realized through an appropriate research funding scheme. The Science and Technology Basic Plan is failing the target of doubling competitive research funds. This is clear when compared with the research financing system in the U.S. where 60% of the academic R&D expenses are covered by public funding. The Third Phase of the Science and Technology Basic Plan should incorporate a keynote plan for university reform through incentives given by the government funding.
