It sets emphasis on R&D management issues such as projects, funds, achievements, academic activities, R&D organizations, R&D archives, etc. The dissertation analysizes the issues’ work flow and the function design in details.According to the characteristics of the research project of agricultural and forestry research institutions, the dissertation suggests to adopt categorized management with the projects and the research achievements, advances three mechnisms for projects proposals:plan-driven proposal, task-driven proposal and innovation-driven proposal. For the massive using of the instant messenger, the dissertation also provides a user verification via QQ scheme. These suggestions will promote the convenience and efficiency of the MIS.The archievements of the dissertation laid a solid foundation for the development of a perfect R&DMIS for the agricultural and forestry research institutions. With the MIS, we can effectively manage and monitor the R&D funds, easily retrieve and sum the projects and achievements.
