Abstract Nowadays, science and technology innovation plays a critical role in economic modernization development and national defense construction of China. It becomes an urgent requirement to build an efficient strategic innovation system guided by national laboratories in order to promote Chinese science and technology development strategy. Accordingly, the development of Chinese national laboratories is entering an important period of strategic opportunities with rocketing attention and investment from government, enterprises and the public. However, the construction and operation of Chinese national laboratories is also facing complex challenges due to the lack of management experience and relative shortage of research and development (R&D) resource.Thus it is an essential procedure to promote the efficiency of R&D resource by accelerating the improvement of assessment mechanism orienting to the strategic management requirements. #br#On the basis ofthe comprehensive overview of relative researches, this article presents four main work to discuss the operation mechanism design and promote assessment of Chinese national laboratories. Firstly, the characteristics of strategic management of national laboratories are summarized through comparing with enterprises and public administrative sectors. It is suggested that both public welfare and economic performance should be given consideration into formulating the strategic goals, of which the direction should be consistent with the national science and technology innovation strategy; it should be taken into consideration of both objective R&D laws and actual operational situation of national laboratoriesin the strategy development phase; both user demands and speciality of scientific institutions should be taken into account in developing the control and feedback criteria. Secondly, 5 functions of national laboratory assessment in the life-cycle procedure of strategic management are discussed, including examining the development strategic direction of national laboratories in the requirement demonstration phase, screening feasible proposals in the project approval phase, adjusting the budgets in the resource allocation phase,rating the comprehensive performance in key operation milestones and identifying problems, analyzing causes and developing solutions in the whole life-cycle procedure. Thirdly, the assessment practices of the Chinese key state laboratories, national laboratories funded by the Department of Energy and Max Planck Society are analyzed through a comparative case study. Moreover, the shortcomings of current assessment operational mechanism are unveiled based on the analysis results. #br#According to the results of the comparative case study, it is discovered that the assessment practice of Chinese national R&D institutions still remains in the primary development stage“orienting to inspection and acceptance”. The assessment operation mechanism has not been integrated into the life-cycle strategic management, which weakens the decision support performance of assessment conclusions. Meanwhile, the shortcomings also involve the data collection of R&D information, selection of consulting experts, developing assessment index sets and organizational processes of assessment activities. There are significant gaps between current capabilities and requirements of scientific and practical national laboratories assessment. On the basis ofthese mentioned findings, it is suggested that R&D decision-makers should improve the assessment operational mechanism from 4 aspects: improving the work programme, regulations & guidance and knowledge accumulation & reuse of national laboratory assessment which follow all activities in each phase of life-cycle strategic management; moving forward the focused priorities and allocated resources of national laboratory assessment appropriately; promoting the development and application of relative software systems for supporting national laboratory assessment;and constructing the effective and efficient management mechanism of consulting experts.#br#The national laboratory assessment involves a complex systemcontaining large-scale different elements and dynamic interacts, therefore there are great difficulties in the analysis, design and implementation. This research provides a preliminary but novelty attempt of framework discussion for operational mechanism of national laboratory assessment orienting to strategic management. With the cooperation of theory & approach researchers, assessment organizers & operators, information system developer and consulting experts, the assessment capability and practice can be promoted to higher stages, such as accompanying assessment and diagnostic assessment.#br#
