2. The person in charge of the project shall, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Measures for the Administration of Funds and the specific requirements of the Notes on the Compilation of Final Accounts of National Natural Science Fund Projects, timely clean up the accounts and assets in conjunction with scientific research, finance and other departments, and truthfully compile the final accounts of National Natural Science Fund projects to ensure that the final accounts are true and accurate, and the capital expenditures are legal and effective. If several units undertake the same project, the project leader and the participants of the cooperative research unit shall prepare the final accounts of the project funds respectively, which shall be compiled by the project leader after being audited by the unit.
3. When writing the closing report, the project leader should use the "Achievements Online of the National Natural Science Foundation of China" to collect papers and other achievements published by this project. Please don't include papers to be published or not marked with the number of National Natural Science Foundation funding and project approval in the closing report; Don't copy the content of the paper directly as the content of the final report.
4. After the project is approved by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the full text of the completed report will be published on the National Science and Technology Reporting Service Network (npd.nsfc.gov.cn) and the National Science and Technology Reporting Service System (www.nstrs.cn).
(2) matters that rely on the unit
The supporting unit shall review the closing materials according to the requirements of the Regulations, and submit the closing materials to the Natural Science Foundation of China from February 24 to March1(before16, closing on February 27-28) in 2065438. Projects that fail to submit the closing materials on time shall be closed as expected and included in the corresponding limited application scope. At the same time, the Natural Science Foundation of China will deal with the project leaders and supporting units according to the relevant provisions of the Regulations. The specific requirements are as follows:
1. Relying on the information system, the unit will review and confirm the closing materials item by item, and submit the original paper closing report signed and sealed by the unit (in duplicate), as well as the official letter of the unit, the list of closing projects and the summary table of final accounts of project funds within the specified time for submitting the closing materials. Incomplete materials will not be accepted.
2. The supporting unit can directly deliver or mail the paper materials to the material receiving group of the Natural Science Foundation of China. If mail is used, please send it by courier before the deadline for submitting the closing materials (subject to the postmark date) to avoid delaying the closing of the problem, and mark "closing materials" in the lower left corner of the envelope.
(3) The conclusion report consists of abstract, text, statistical data table and research results catalogue, final accounts and final accounts of project funds, signature and audit opinions table, electronic attachment catalogue and electronic attachment materials.
1. Summary.
