He mainly engages in S&T strategic planning, S&T evaluation, and S&T policy research, involving all the key aspects of the S&T macro-management system, such as planning, implementation, resource allocation and evaluation. S&T strategic planning and evaluation is the front and rear end of S&T macro-management system, while S&T policy research is the essential management tool throughout the entire system. The research into the fundamental and universal theoretical Issues of the S&T strategic planning, evaluation, and policy will produce new disciplinary growth points and develop new theory and method; the research into practical and goal-oriented problems concerned by policy-maker, the scientific community and the public will contribute to identifying the bottleneck of the development of S&T as primary productive forces, which can be applied directly to the national macro decision-making and CAS policy formulation.
