GuideOn January 13, 2023, the much-watched "New Cornerstone Researcher Program" was announced, and Shi Yigong, chairman of the first scientific committee, and others announced the list of
funders.
The biggest feature of the "New Cornerstone Researcher Program" is "selecting people, not projects", so it is called the Chinese version of the "HHMI Program"
.
The project is funded by Tencent, led by scientists, and independently operated by the New Cornerstone Science Foundation
.
The project will fund a group of outstanding scientists to concentrate on basic research for a long time to achieve original innovation from 0 to 1, and it is expected that Tencent will invest 10 billion yuan in 10 years, with a total of more than 200 scientists
.
According to Shi Yigong, a total of 991 scientists applied for the program this year, and 58 scholars finally won the award.

The "New Cornerstone Researcher Program" is a new type of basic research funding program
that focuses on original innovation, encourages free exploration, and is public welfare.
Since its establishment in April last year, the New Cornerstone Fellowship Program has attracted much attention, and the following is an overview of
the first project application.
02 What are the features of the New Cornerstone Fellows Program?
02 What are the features of the New Cornerstone Fellows Program?According to the data, in the next 10 years, Tencent will invest 10 billion yuan in the new cornerstone researcher program to support a group of outstanding scientists to concentrate on basic research and realize the original innovation
of "from 0 to 1" for a long time.
Programs include Mathematics and Physical Sciences, Biological and Medical Sciences
Biomedical Sciences) two broad areas that encourage interdisciplinary research
.
The amount of funding shall not exceed 5 million yuan/person/year for experimental and 3 million yuan/person/year for theoretical categories, and it will be funded for 5 consecutive years.
The "New Cornerstone Researcher Program" focuses on "selecting people rather than projects", supporting creative scientists to carry out exploratory and risky basic research, and expecting scientists to raise important scientific questions, open up the frontier of disciplines, and promote original breakthroughs
.
03 We urgently need original innovation, and the New Cornerstone Fellowship Program is at this time
03 We urgently need original innovation, and the New Cornerstone Fellowship Program is at this timeAt present, from the VC circle to government departments and scientific research circles, a consensus has been formed: China's basic science is still weak and imminent
.
That's why we need to invest more in
original innovation.
The development of basic research is the cornerstone of original innovation and the source
of scientific breakthroughs.
Shi Yigong once said, "The next 10-20 years will be a critical period
for China's scientific and technological development from quantitative accumulation to qualitative leap.
" Basic research is the foundation of science, which requires more breakthroughs
in basic research to take the lead.
It is expected that the scientists supported by this project can propose and solve major scientific problems, promote theoretical innovation, lead the frontier of disciplines, open up new research directions and fields, and become new academic leaders in the scientific community
.
”
The New Cornerstone Researcher Program is a program that focuses on original innovation and encourages scientists to explore
freely.
Its philosophy is very similar to HHMI's, "People, Not.
"
Projects"
.
HHMI has a good reputation in the field of life sciences, it is the world's largest private non-profit medical research foundation, providing about $1 million per year to top biologists in the United States, which can be funded for 5-7 consecutive years, and has been or is being supported by the HHMI Investigator Program, including more than 30 Nobel laureates and 180 members
of the National Academy of Sciences.
Therefore, the "New Cornerstone Researcher Project" is considered to be the "Chinese version" of HHMI as soon as it appears, and it is hoped that with the support of this project, China's original innovation in mathematics, physics, life sciences and other fields will make breakthroughs
in the future.
