Generally speaking, graduate students are a new force in the field of scientific research. Graduate students help tutors with their work, and tutors should give subsidies.

In the past, the training of graduate students was mainly based on schools and colleges, mainly lectures. It is now advocated to bring graduate students into scientific research projects. One of the core of the new mechanism reform is to implement the "tutor responsibility system", which combines the tutor's scientific research with the postgraduate training process, and the tutor should be responsible for the overall growth of students, including the financial responsibility.

According to the Implementation Measures for the Reform of Postgraduate Training Mechanism in Wuhan University (Trial), doctoral supervisors will allocate research funds when recruiting doctoral students, taking humanities (philosophy, literature and history) as an example.

When recruiting the first doctor, the tutor paid 1000 yuan; Recruit a second doctor, and the tutor will pay 2000 yuan; When recruiting the third doctor, the tutor paid 3000 yuan. In other words, if a doctoral supervisor of Wu Da College of Literature recruits three doctoral students a year, he will have to pay 6,000 yuan to the college for scientific research.
