Exploration and practice of open sharing of scientific research instruments in local colleges and universities:Considering the National Medical Products Administration Key Laboratory for Research and Evaluation of Narcotic and Psychotropic Drugs
[Objective]Large-scale scientific research instruments are indispensable scientific and technological resources in universities and colleges.Local universities and colleges can use these resources to efficiently perform talent training,scientific research,and social service,providing personnel and technical support for regional pharmaceutical research and development and economic and social development.However,constructing large-scale scientific research instrument-sharing platforms in local medical universities is unsatisfactory.For example,the sharing rate is low,and the sharing mechanism needs to be further strengthened.To maximize the utilization efficiency of large-scale scientific research instruments in local medical universities,to provide support for developing discipline,and to provide a reference for constructing large-scale scientific research instrument-sharing platforms in similar universities,this paper proposes construction suggestions to improve the open-sharing system of large-scale scientific research instruments in local medical universities.[Methods]Through a literature review,this paper uncovers existing problems in the large-scale scientific research instrument-sharing process,such as unbalanced distribution of scientific research instruments,low use efficiency,shortage of experimental technicians,unstable team structure,and insufficient cooperation and sharing.Meanwhile,combined with the construction experience in the Scientific Research Experiment Center and National Medical Products Administration Key Laboratory for Research and Evaluation of Narcotic and Psychotropic Drugs at Xuzhou Medical University,this paper provides construction advice and a reference for similar universities and colleges.[Results]This paper proposes suggestions on large-scale scientific research instrument-sharing platform construction from five perspectives:improvement of the sharing system,establishment of an experimental technical team,building of skill training system,development and application of instruments,and focus on market demand and strengthening of campus-enterprise cooperation.These suggestions aim to promote the maximization of the utilization efficiency of large-scale scientific research instruments in local medical universities,provide support for developing discipline,and provide a reference for constructing large-scale scientific research instrument-sharing platforms in similar universities and colleges.[Conclusions]Based on the literature review and the construction experience at Xuzhou Medical University,this paper suggests that local medical universities and colleges should actively improve the open sharing system of large-scale scientific research instruments,link the open sharing of instruments with the project declaration and final assessment of research groups or platforms,and establish an open sharing intelligent management system.These universities and colleges should introduce and train high-level and-quality experimental technical personnel,increase the number of experimental technical personnel,set up senior professional titles for laboratory personnel,and create green channels for those who have made major contributions in key research and development fields,thereby optimizing the team structure of experimental technicians and improving their status and treatment.In addition,they should build skill training systems to effectively improve the practical operational ability of operators in laboratories;encourage experimental technicians to actively develop and apply the functions of instruments according to the requirements of experiments to provide full play to the functions of scientific research instruments;efficiently serve scientific research innovation and discipline development;actively explore the integration cooperation mechanism among local governments,universities or colleges,and enterprises;and make good use of the functions of their large-scale scientific research instruments to efficiently serve regional pharmaceutical research and development and economic and social development.
