Academy of Military Sciences NBC Defense Research Institute Advances Full-Chain Supervision Work

军事科学院防化研究院推进全链路监督工作

PLA Daily (解放军报) 18 May 2026

Summary

The AMS NBC Defense Research Institute has embedded dedicated discipline inspection officers — including a special-appointment officer named Xiao Li — into key research project milestones using a formalized '5-phase, 16-step' full-chain supervision checklist (科研全链路监督清单), with accompanying supervision extended to external civilian partners through a joint prevention and control mechanism (联防联控机制). The article documents the institute's response to clean-governance vulnerabilities specific to defense R&D: long project cycles, multi-stage handoffs, and high-risk military-civilian cooperation that push corruption risk points outside the gate. The framing ties the initiative explicitly to ongoing political rectification training (政治整训), placing this as one institutional record of how AMS subordinate units are operationalizing that campaign at the project level rather than only at the leadership level.

Academy of Military Sciences NBC Defense Research Institute Advances Full-Chain Supervision Work——

"Sharp Eyes" Bring "Clean Fielding"

■ Wang Yuedi, Zhai Jiayu

In the deep of an early-summer night, the conference room of a certain research institute under the Academy of Military Sciences (AMS) NBC Defense Research Institute was brightly lit as a key project reached a critical milestone demonstration. Special-appointment discipline inspection and supervision officer Xiao Li held a stack of well-worn full-chain supervision checklists for scientific research (科研全链路监督清单), methodically cross-checking original experimental records, equipment usage logs, and expenditure vouchers item by item. This was the third time in nearly two weeks that he had attended a project meeting as a non-voting participant. Today, having discipline inspection and supervision officers attend meetings at critical junctures of key scientific research projects to conduct full-process accompanying supervision (全流程伴随监督) has become an inviolable procedural rule at the institute.

As political rectification training (政治整训) advances in depth, the NBC Defense Research Institute Party Committee has engaged in profound reflection on the weak points and shortcomings of clean governance (廉政建设) in military scientific research units, conducted thorough self-examination and self-correction, and worked to extend comprehensive strict Party governance to the last link in the chain. In response to problems such as the long cycles, numerous stages, and dispersed risk points of scientific research projects, the institute has, in accordance with relevant regulations, explored the establishment of discipline inspection and supervision groups, special-appointment discipline inspection and supervision officers, and grassroots work-atmosphere supervisory personnel (基层风气监督员), clearing the "last mile" of supervision implementation and improving the effectiveness of grassroots Party conduct, clean governance, and anti-corruption work.

Xiao Li still vividly remembers the training process he underwent when he became a special-appointment discipline inspection and supervision officer. From visiting the institute's history museum to attending on-site warning education sessions at a military prison, the research institute treats clean governance education as a required course for every special-appointment discipline inspection and supervision officer, guiding personnel to strictly observe the bottom line of discipline and to perform their duties with integrity. Once a project enters external cooperative work, the footsteps of supervision follow it out the institute's gates. During one key scientific research project involving close military-civilian coordination, deep project cooperation, and high clean-governance risk, a clean governance visit working group conducted on-site visits to multiple local enterprises and research institutes in succession, establishing a joint prevention and control mechanism (联防联控机制) for mutual information sharing, mutual transfer of leads, and cooperative supervision, conveying the rules of discipline at project sites and building them into the front lines of cooperation. It is precisely because of this foundational work that special-appointment discipline inspection and supervision officers like Xiao Li are able to stand tall and keep their eyes wide open on the front lines of scientific research.

The scientific research project team to which Xiao Li belongs has more than 30 researchers and is responsible for multiple key tasks, yet he always keeps that supervision checklist in hand: "5 phases, 16 steps—from project initiation to project conclusion, not a single one can be missed." Every instance of technical research and development, experimental testing, external cooperative work, and expenditure must pass through these checkpoints.

From a written requirements plan to type-certification and fielding to the troops, from painstaking research in the laboratory to real-combat verification on exercise and training grounds, behind each solid scientific research answer sheet lies the institute's corrective measures of keeping a close watch on the core requirements of combat readiness and warfighting, and threading supervision and discipline enforcement (监督执纪) and clean governance visits through every single link—project initiation, technical breakthroughs, acceptance and conversion, and use of funds.

Supervision is silent yet powerful, purifying the atmosphere of scientific research. This invisible chain continues to extend and expand, integrating into more work at the last link.

军事科学院防化研究院推进全链路监督工作—— “雪亮的眼睛”带来“干净的列装” ■王玥迪翟佳羽初夏深夜，军事科学院防化研究院某研究所会议室灯火通明，某重点项目迎来关键节点论证。特约纪检监察员小李手拿一叠被翻得起毛边的科研全链路监督清单，逐项核对实验原始记录、设备使用台账、经费支出凭证。这是他近两周第3次列席项目会议。如今，该院纪检监察员列席重点科研项目关键环节会议，开展全流程伴随监督，已成为雷打不动的流程规矩。随着政治整训向纵深推进，防化研究院党委深刻反思军事科研单位廉政建设的短板弱项，深入开展自查自纠，着力推动全面从严治党向末端延伸，针对科研项目周期长、环节多、风险点散等问题，他们依据相关规定探索组建纪检监察组、特约纪检监察员、基层风气监督员队伍，打通监督落地“最后一公里”，提升基层党风廉政建设和反腐败工作质效。小李至今对成为特约纪检监察员时的培训流程记忆犹新。从参观院史馆到赴军事监狱现地警示教学，研究院把廉洁教育作为每名特约纪检监察员的必修课，引导大家严守纪律底线，清白履职干事。项目一进入外协合作，监督的脚步也跟着出了院门。一次开展某项军地协作紧、项目合作深、廉政风险高的重点科研项目，廉政走访工作组先后实地走访多家地方企业、科研院所，建立信息互通、线索互移、合作监督的联防联控机制，把纪律规矩讲在项目现场、筑在合作前沿。正是有了这些基础工作，像小李这样的特约纪检监察员，才能在科研一线挺直腰杆、瞪大眼睛。小李所在科研项目组有30多名科研人员，承担着多项重点任务，而他的手里始终攥着那份监督清单，“5个阶段、16个步骤，从立项到结题，一个都不能漏”。每次技术研发、实验测试、外协合作、经费支出，都要经过这些关口。从一纸需求方案到定型列装部队，从实验室潜心钻研到演训场实战检验，一份份扎实科研答卷背后，是研究院紧盯备战打仗核心需求，将监督执纪、廉政走访贯穿科研立项、技术攻关、验收转化、经费使用每一个环节的整改举措。监督无声却有力，纯正科研好风气。这条无形的链还在延伸拓展，融入更多工作末端。
