-The Institute has presided over the formulation and revision of more than 300 national and industrial standards, providing a large number of technical specifications for the healthy development of the grain industry.

Since 2003, under the guidance of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the State Grain Bureau, the Institute has completed the main task of scientific and technological system reform and successfully transformed into a public welfare scientific research institution.

In order to meet the needs of improving the ability of scientific and technological innovation, the talent structure has been improved and optimized through the introduction and training of talents in recent years. Nearly half of the researchers have a postgraduate degree or above, and 55% of them have a doctorate; More than 50% have senior professional titles. In particular, the cross-introduction and exchange of talents from different majors and disciplines have effectively broadened the horizons of scientific researchers and greatly improved their scientific research and innovation capabilities.

Since entering the new century, with the progress of the times and the rapid development of science and technology, China's grain industry has put forward higher requirements for scientific and technological innovation. The office buildings, old laboratories and scientific research equipment built in 1950s and 1960s can no longer meet the needs of the new situation, and there is still a considerable gap in some aspects.

With the care and support of leaders at all levels, especially after many field visits by leaders of the State Grain Bureau, the new scientific research building of the institute was officially started in April 2004, and all the projects and debugging equipment were completed on June 27, 2006, and it passed the completion acceptance of Beijing Quality Inspection Station. It took two and a half years from groundbreaking to completion.

The new scientific research building is located atNo. 1 1, Baiwanzhuang Street, Xicheng District, with a total construction area of 29,445 square meters and a total building height of 45.3 meters, with 13 floors above ground and 2 floors underground. Its main functions are scientific research, office work, evaluation and meetings.

Compared with the old laboratory, the laboratory equipped in the new research building has greatly improved the conditions.

—— The laboratory area increased from 1000 m2 to 3,800 m2, including: laboratory ancillary facilities 10, large instrument laboratory 17, and professional laboratory 18.

-The value of instruments increased from 20 to 30 million yuan to 50.

-Various ancillary facilities can meet the different needs of scientific research.

In the new laboratory, most instruments are at the advanced level in the world, which provides a good research platform and tools for the research work of the institute.

Advanced artificial climate chambers and artificial climate incubators can accurately control temperature, humidity, illumination, gas composition and concentration, and can simulate various meteorological conditions in nature, which can be applied to long-term observation and research of grain storage and various physiological and ecological indicators of insects. Now it is used in national social welfare research projects.

-S-3000N scanning electron microscope, with magnification ranging from 5 times to 300,000 times, can clearly distinguish the fine structures of grains, insects, etc. Now it is used to undertake research projects of the National Natural Fund.

-ion trap GC-MS is the latest generation of high-performance external ion trap GC-MS. It is mainly used for the analysis of harmful substances in cereals, oils and foods, such as pesticides and mycotoxins, especially for the analysis of samples in complex matrices.

The professional laboratory has reasonable configuration and wide professional scope, which can meet the needs of most directions of grain scientific research. It embodies the independence and intersection of disciplines and provides complete conditions for the scientific and technological innovation of the institute.

In the research pilot base in Changping District, a suburb of Beijing, the Institute has built nearly 20,000 square meters of pilot research laboratories for grain, oil and food processing, bioengineering, grain storage, food nutrition and safety.

At present, the national science and technology projects undertaken and participated by the laboratories of the Institute include the National Natural Science Foundation Project, the "863" Plan, the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" and so on 17, which is one of the most fulfilling scientific research projects undertaken by the Institute since its establishment.

At the same time, the institute has also carried out a number of horizontal scientific research projects for local grain departments and enterprises, which has effectively promoted the development of science and technology in the industry.

The institute's scientific and technological exchanges with foreign countries have been expanding, and its influence among international peers has been gradually enhanced.

After the National Science and Technology Conference, especially the Science and Technology Conference of the State Grain Administration, the Institute is taking a brand-new look, riding the east wind of scientific and technological system reform, establishing an open, mobile, competitive and cooperative operating mechanism and an open research platform for grain and oil science and technology, and marching towards the international advanced grain science and technology innovation center.

The highly educated and high-level professional and technical personnel trained and introduced by the Institute have gradually become the backbone of scientific research and technology in various disciplines of the Institute. Relying on the college's laboratory equipment and major scientific research projects, we will increase the gathering and training of talents and create a group of world-leading academic leaders.

The pilot base laboratory under construction will make the research ability of the institute even more powerful.

-180 series grain storage pilot laboratory is a unique scientific research facility in the world, which will greatly expand the basic and applied research fields of grain storage in China and significantly improve the scientific and technological level of grain storage in China. It will serve major scientific and technological projects involving national food security and food hygiene and safety.

-The completion of the 5-ton bio-fermentation laboratory will greatly promote the research and development of new fermentation energy and new biological technologies, as well as the promotion and transformation of new technologies.

—— The food nutrition laboratory and its supporting SPF animal house of 400 square meters play an important role in promoting the research on the interaction and regulation mechanism between nutrition and immunity of grain and oil feed, genes and environment, and human nutrition and health.

The development of the institute benefits from the state's great attention to scientific and technological work, the correct leadership of the State Grain Bureau, the support of relevant state departments, and the concern and expectation of all sectors of society. With the rapid development of science and technology today, the research institute will seize the opportunity of scientific and technological innovation, make new contributions to China's scientific research, and repay the strong support of leaders at all levels and all walks of life!
