This paper empirically analyses the role mechanism between S&T funding,S&T policy tracking audit and urban innovation level using panel data of 274 prefecture-level and above cities in China from 2017 to 2020.The results show that S&T funding positively affects the level of urban innovation,and the investment of basic research and applied research is greater than that of experimental development.The S&T policy tracking audit has a significant impact and plays a positive moderating role in the relationship between S&T funding and the level of urban innovation,and its moderating role varies across different types of S&T activities.Further research found that the role of S&T policy tracking audit on regional innovation development in the eastern region is stronger than in the central and western regions.In addition,S&T policy tracking audits have a positive spatial spillover effect,which can realize the common development of overall S&T innovation by radiating to the surrounding areas.
