Training the innovative talents is always the prominent characteristic of American higher education. Especially in American research universities which walked in the front rank of the world in despite of the idea or the effect of training innovative talents. Therefore, through comparative analysis with the model of the innovative talents training in American research universities, we can see clearly the insufficiency in the model of the innovative talents training in Chinese research universities, and can get successful experience which conform to the condition of our country.Chapter one was the introduction part; this chapter mainly elaborated the origin of the topic which the paper selected, the goal and the significance of the research, the present situation of the domestic and foreign research as well as the research method.Chapter two mainly introduced the respective concept and the characteristic of research universities in China and US, the concept and the characteristic of innovative talents, and also introduced the concept of the model of the innovative talents.

It proposed enlightenment of innovative talents training to our country's research universities by profiting from the successful experience of the innovative talents training in American research universities.Chapter six was the conclusion, the author thought innovative talents training is a system, it should be synthetically construct in omni-directionally and the multiple perspectives from the teacher to the student, from the idea to the system and from the software environment to the hardware condition. Each research universities have its respective characteristic in the model of the innovative talents training; it can not be blindly imitate others.
