Abstract This study examines the Joint Fund for Corporate Innovation and Development of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), focusing on its dual emphasis on basic research and application transformation and deep university-enterprise collaboration. It identifies the “full-chain empowerment-dual-subject collaboration” talent cultivation mode, providing key insights for interdisciplinary talent cultivation and the multi-source investment mechanism design for basic research. Through a phased implementation process of project initiation-research and development breakthroughs-validation and transformation, the fund fully leverages the frontier exploration advantage of universities and the industrial practice advantage of enterprises. The fund not only enhances the explicit abilities of both university and enterprise researchers, such as basic research capabilities on scientific frontiers and application development capabilities for practical needs, but also cultivates their implicit abilities, including cross-disciplinary communication skills, organizational management capabilities in cross-field collaboration and motivational drive across research phases. Additionally, the fund supports the publication of high-level research paper, the applications for scientific awards and the achievement of academic titles.
