The all sample sizes are 1174 units, of which, by the nature of units, there are 67 subordinates colleges and universities, Chinese Academy of Sciences 105,448 local colleges and universities, other units 558. Units classified according to the unites of different region, there are 239 in East South of China,region 88, central region 103,439 in North of China, Northwest Territories 108, Southwest 104, Northeast 92, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions 1.According to the integrity of the contents and the missing items of the support unit for the management the comprehensive analysis are classified as "vacant, no, poor, medium, good" nine kinds of opinions will be divided into "vacancies, substantive comments and no substantive opinions".In order to quantitative analysis, we establish a database to carry out the percentage of statistics, analysis of variance, chi-square test. All statistical analysis was completed using statistical software spss11.0.Results1. The situation of integrity of different types of units'"management report"(1)The statistic on the missing of filling in the project of units in different natures: We compare the total numbers of missing items of the subordinates and universities, Chinese Academy of Sciences research institutions, local universities, other units, the highest of the other units, the least of the subordinate colleges and universities. Most colleges and universities subordinate's missing items variable is the "other" opinions; CAS'research institutes that the most variables are "audit and supervision" and "other" opinions in the missing items; local colleges and universities most often missing variable is the "other" opinions; other units in the largest number of missing variable is the "other". The least missing items of every unite is "comprehensive analysis". All analysis shows that the largest variable of missing items is "other", missing rate is 91.5%, the least is the "comprehensive analysis", missing rate is 26.9%.(2) The statistics on the missing items of filling in the project of units in different regions:In east China the most variable of missing items is the "other"; In South China the variable of most missing is "Audit and Oversight"; In central China the largest variable of missing items is "other"; In North China the largest variable of missing items is the "other"; In northwest region the most variable of missing items is "other"; In southwest region the most variable of missing is the "other"; In northeast region, the most variable of missing items is "other".

Among them, the highest rate for the total subordinate is colleges and universities, the minimum is other institutions. The most substantive comment is in the training aspect, with rates of 20.1% and the lowest for the comprehensive analysis, the rate of 2.3%.3.

In which the highest rate for the total Southwest, its ratio is 11.0; the lowest is in the Northwest region, which ratio is 6.0. In various regions, the most substantive comments and recommendations is training, their substantive views on the number of accounts is 20.1%. A comprehensive analysis's rate is 2.3%, in the various it is the lowest.4. The substantive comments and suggestions of the units are analyzed:The system of Fund's declaration is imperfect, prone to error generation; Foundation's support have not done enough, particularly in central and western regions and colleges and universities; management-related regulations is not perfect, some aspects do not make specific provisions; some requirements and considerations are no clear, which makes work units can be wrong; To the training of units on different levels we have not done enough in their work, because the practical understanding of the work is inadequate.
