| Background and ObjectiveThe scientific research project occupies a big share in the resources disposition of national science and technology;therefore the government and public pay more attention to the scientific research project management. Along with the rapid development of medicine science, our country increases the investment to the medicine scientific research unceasingly, such as the number and investment amount of the scientific research project, but this also increased the management difficulty of scientific research project inevitably. In order to make the scientific research project determination fair and run or finish as planned, we must use the advanced management methods and modernized management technologies to raise the level of project management. The scientific research project appraisal is the main element of the scientific research project management, and it is important to enhance the efficiency and level of the scientific research management.The scientific research project management and appraisal work was developed earlier in US, France, Germany etc. In many developed countries, including USA, the scientific research project management and the appraisal have become "the fast growth industry". As an important content and method, the scientific research appraisal has become the institutionalized and regular work. Our country started the scientific research project management and appraisal work late. So, in recent years, toexplore the Chinese characteristic ways which suit the international convention, our country carried on a series of scientific research system reforms and benefited from overseas experience in the scientific research management. But, on the whole, the scientific research project management still got too extensive, we had lots of work to do whatever at understanding as well as technical aspects in which the high tech being applied to the scientific research project management.After enters for 20th century, information industry represented by computer and network communication technology develops dramatically, the application of kinds of software obtains the full play. The MIS system is one kinds of software according to the special requests of the user, belongs to the database application program. This system has realized the high effectiveness and accuracy of the scientific research project computer management and the project standardized management.Based on the scientific research plans of Hangzhou sanitation system and the application, the appraisal, the management computer network of achievements, this research used the MIS system to withdraw and analyze the long-term accumulated scientific research management data, explore the various factors influence the project finish rate, analyze the rationality of the scientific research project determination system at present and the scientific research funds management, provide the reference for decision-making of the scientific research project manager, guarantee the scientific research project management just, open and fair, urge the medicine scientific research project management to rise to a new altitude.Materials and MethodsAll the 16 municipal medical and health organizations in Hangzhou were selected, each unit filled in a unifrom questionnaire. Investigated the project determination situation of 16 municipal medical and health organizations from January 1, 1996 to December 31, 2001, including the project sources of medical and health organizations, the financial supporting situation of the funds, the condition of being finished of the project, the information of project directors, the scientific research policies and the supporting funds of medical and health organizations,and the unfinished reasons ofproject and so on.After verification and code of the questionnaires, inputted and processed the data. Use FoxPro6.0 and Microsoft SQL server 2000 software to establish and manage the database.MIS system database included scientific research project application information database, project management database, and information analysis database. The main project management database included six aspects contents: project determination management, achievement management, award management, paper management, scientific research talent management and scientific research fund management.Established seven rating systems (contain 54 appraisal targets), the MIS system automatically gave grades. Seven systems included applicant appraisal system, applying unit appraisal system, project group appraisal system, project retrieval appraisal system, academic foundation appraisal system, scientific research condition appraisal system and project content appraisal system.The information of the information analysis database originated from the application information database. Information analysis used the improved Apriori algorithm method, and indexes of Minsup and Minconfidence was used to analyse the associated degree between medicine scientific research projects of Hangzhou City and appraisal indexes. Other statistical analyses used SPSS 13.0 software, x2 test was used to analyse rate and proportion, and Spearman correlation was used to analyse rank data.Results1. Project determination situationThe application of the significant and key project accorded with several conditions as follows: one of the national key research interests, third-class health units and project director should be discipline leader and so on, applied easily to be the significant or key project, Minsup=12%, Minonfidence=87.6%;Kind A project application accorded with conditions as follows: purposeful, funds reasonably, above the second-class health units, project director should be reserve discipline leader, it'seasy to be funded, Minsup=18%, Minonfidence=67.5%;Kind B project application accords with conditions as follows: the key research content was prominent, the application funded reasonable, big benefit, age 25-35 years old, the project group had 1-2 vice-senior experts, several first-class paper and so on, it's easy to be funded, Minsup=20%, Minconfidence-52%.2. Project finishing situationIn the funds sources, the municipal science and technology bureau supported biggest, average project achieved $51,300, the finishing rate on schedule achieved 87.5%;the municipal sanitation bureau supported smallest, average project only had $4, 600, the finishing rate only was 46.1%. In the funds composition structure, the finishing rate of self-financing project is lowest, only 48.9%. The finishing rate of the each project funds between $15,000 and $30,000 was highest, and it was significantly different from self-financing group (x2= 7.653, P<0.05).When the project director had 3 or 4 projects at the same time, the finishing rate was lower, only 22.2% and 8.3%. Compared with the group of project director had only 1 projects, there were significantly differences (x2=14.093 and 12.425, PO.05 all). When the project director had the degree of doctor, the finishing rate was highest, achieved 84%.3. Unfinishing proj ect situationThe scientific research funded insufficiency, time insufficiency and the change of the project director were the main reasons which the project did not finish on schedule, and these unfinishing projects occupy above 3/4 of the total unfinishing projects. Along with the year increase, the project remove rate fall slightly.ConclusionsAfter using the MIS system to manage the scientific research project determination, the project determination appraisal became more scientifically, and the project content associated with national key scientific research direction more closely, which manifested the consistent pattern of ideas of Hangzhou sanitation bureau in scientific research project management.Funds insufficiency is the main reason which the project was finished not on time. So the funds management of Hangzhou sanitation bureau needed further enhance. To each project of the municipal health service units, the funds (not include unit 1:1 supporting funds) between $15,000 and $30,000 will be more economical and reasonable.When the project director had 3 or more projects at the same time, the finishing rate was lower. Therefore, we should enhance the management of scientific research projects using the MIS system.
