Abstract Since the implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy, deepening the reform of the S&T system and optimizing the structure of scientific research have become the essential links in the upgradation of China′s scientific and technological innovation system. However, there is a problem of incongruity between the S&T innovation policy and scientific research structure of universities, which directly inhibits the innovation performance of universities. Therefore, considering the timeliness of policy release and the cumulation of policy implementation, this paper attempts to measure the level of S&T innovation policies in Chinese universities,and analyze the relationship between S&T innovation policies, scientific research structure and innovation performance in universities. The efficient operation of achievement transformation provides a new chance to explores important paths of improving the innovation performance of universities.#br#Based on the provincial panel data of S&T innovation in universities from 2004 to 2019, this paper improves the measurement method of college innovation policy on the basis of literature review. Furthermore, this paper builds an index system based on the experience of existing research without making a clear division of patent types, so as to objectively express the influence relationship of innovation performance of various universities. Scientific research performance are conducted as a mediating variable in the models. The path model, quantile regression model and fixed effect model are used to analyze the impact of innovation policy and scientific research structure on the performance of S&T innovation in universities.#br#The results show that firstly the level of innovation policy in universities is in a relatively floating state from 2004 to 2019, which reflects the contradiction between the flexibility of policy implementation. Although governments have spared effort to create a good environment for universities′ innovation, the policy environment cannot keep stable for a long time. Secondly the S&T innovation policy and scientific research structure of universities generally have a positive effect on innovation performance. By combining the two stages of scientific research output and achievement transformation, S&T innovation policy significantly promotes the performance of scientific research output, while the impact on the achievement transformation performance shows a certain nonlinear characteristic. The direct effect of innovation policy on achievement transformation performance is negative, while scientific research output performance plays an intermediary role in stimulating achievement transformation between the two, indicating that there is a certain degree of implicit transformation of scientific research results. Thirdly there are differences in the role of scientific research structure in promoting the development of innovation performance. Its effects is concentrated in the stage of scientific research output, indicating that the consistency and competition between teaching and scientific research still exist.#br#Hence it is necessary for grass-roots government to strengthen the positive guidance of innovation policies on the goal of achievement transformation, and avoid the ineffective accumulation of scientific research output performance, and achieve high quality of scientific research output and high efficiency of achievement transformation.Moreover the government should appropriately support the fine-tuning of the ratio of scientific research and teaching personnel in universities, rationally allocate innovative elements of scientific research tasks and teaching tasks based on major national needs. It is important to encourage universities to make reform attempts at the structural level. What′s more from the perspective of the policy level, it is essential to pay attention to the implicit transformation of scientific research achievements, and strengthen the important role of scientific research structure in the transformation between scientific research direction and the allocation of innovation elements.#br#This paper uses the method of efficiency measurement to measure the policy effectiveness. It incorporates the scientific research structure into the relationship between S&T innovation policies and innovation performance in universities, and explores the special significance of scientific research tasks and teaching tasks in the high-quality development of S&T innovation capabilities in universities. It divides the different levels of innovation performance, and pays attention to the direction of innovation policies in different development stages of universities. Future research can carry out research from the individual level of colleges and universities, and provide more operational reference suggestions for the path optimization of scientific and technological innovation in colleges and universities. It′s also suggested to use the multi-layer model to compare the central and local policy effectiveness of scientific and technological innovation activities in colleges and universities.#br#
