교육과학기술부(장관 이주호)에서 대학현장의 연구자율성과 책무성 조화를 위한 「대학 연구비관리 선진화 방안」을 확정·발표가 있어 알려드리고자 합니다. 
 
주요내용은 연구비 집행의 자율성 확대 및 책무성 강화 기본 방향에 관한 것입니다. 

1.  연구자의 자율성 확대 측면

▶연구활동비 계상기준 정비

▶간접비 집행허용 항목으로 연구실 운영경비 신설 

▶학생인건비 풀링제 정착 등 

2.  연구자의 책무성 강화 측면

▶연구장비구매 기준 강화 

▶연구비중앙관리실태조사 선진화 

▶참여제한 연구자 관리강화 

▶제재부가금 부과 등 

또한 규정의 미숙지로 인한 부적절한 사용을 사전에 예방하기 위해 연구비관리 교육과정도 강화할 방침임.  

상세한 내용은 첨부파일에  “대학 연구비관리 선진화 방안 세부과제별 개선내용“를 올려드리니 연구활동시 참고 부탁드립니다. 

감사합니다.
