Yan Xuelin considered himself to be reasonable. As the director of the Biomedical Research Institute, he would undoubtedly support the research projects within the institute.
Some basic research projects, relying solely on funding from scientific research foundations, indeed cannot be completed. And there are projects that are not even within the scope of the foundations' support, making applications impossible to pass. Hence, these research endeavors require the institute's financial support.
In fact,
the R&D funding of research institutions mainly consists of two parts, one being the funds allocated by the government, the other being the support from the institutions themselves.
The institute's financial support is a significant aspect because it is only with the emergence of many scientific achievements that the institute receives its annual research funding.
This portion of funding is at the scientific institutions' discretion to use freely.
