Organizations at the ministerial level implement the grand S&T strategies and plans approved by the central  decision-making authorities. Unlike the United States, which adopts what Neal et al. describe as a “pluralistic”  multiagency approach,143 the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), as its name suggests, plays a /leading  role in implementing S&T strategies and policies approved by the highest decision-making authorities and in  managing S&T programs and projects funded by the central government. MOST’s core mission mandates include  formulating guidelines for the implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy, coordinating  the allocation of scientific research resources, budgets, and funds, compiling guidelines for national R&D  megaprojects, and supervising their execution, among others.

The offices for carrying out the day-to-day tasks  for both the National S&T LSG and the S&T Tizhi Reform LSG also reside with MOST, with MOST Director  Wang Zhigang serving as the office director.145 MOST further expanded its portfolio to include responsibilities in  drafting national basic research plans and crafting policies for recruiting foreign talents following its absorption  of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), the primary funding vehicle for basic and applied  research in China, and the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs (SAFEA) in March 2018.
