Abstract: State Science and Technology Awards has been one of the important indexes of an institution or individual's academic status and social contribution, with its high visibility, deep impact and extensive modality. A world-class university should not only provide exceptional education, but also achieve top research reputation. Peking University, as the first contributor, has obtained one State Preeminent Science and Technology Award and sixteen State Natural Science Awards, leading the universities of our nation with the unparalleled contribution in fundamental research. On the other hand, the university's achievement in State Technological Innovation Award and State Scientific and Technological Progress Award is much less impressive. It is suggested that long-term, stable supports should go to those achieved and solid research groups to produce more significant fruits.Creating a generous environment for those talented researchers is essential to the construction of a world-class university.

Key words: State Science and Technology Awards, State Preeminent Science and Technology Award, State Natural Science Award, State Technological Innovation Award, State Scientific and Technological Progress Award, Peking University

摘要： 国家级科技奖励显示度高、影响力大、示范性强，是衡量一个单位或个人学术水平和社会贡献的重要指标之一。1982～2001年北京大学作为第一完成单位获国家最高科学技术奖1项、国家自然科学一、二等奖16项，居全国高校首位，反映了北京大学的基础研究在国内的重要地位；但作为第一完成单位获国家技术发明奖、科学技术进步奖的数量相对偏少。建议对已取得成绩、基础好的研究集体在较长时期内给予稳定的支持，以取得更多的高显示度的标志性成果；为创建世界一流大学做出更大的贡献。
