The cooperation content stipulated in the agreement should align with the research content of the project; 4. Both the agreement and related explanatory materials must be stamped with the official seal of the applicant unit.
(3) Research Integrity. The applicant unit is responsible for the authenticity of the cooperation agreement and related application materials, and should provide relevant commitment statements. It must not exaggerate its own capabilities or economic and technical indicators. Any entity that obtains project approval through malicious exaggeration will be included in the research integrity blacklist once verified. The project applicant, collaborating entities, and project team members must have good track records and integrity status. They must have no major violations during the audit and inspection of municipal special financial funds, no records of severe research integrity violations under penalty enforcement periods, and no related social integrity violation records.
