Abstract: This paper carries out a questionnaire survey of persons in charge of the agricultural project in the "Eleventh Five-Year National Support Program" on the level of innovation in projects and the factors influencing innovation. After the linear regression analysis of the survey data, it is found that the factors influencing the innovation in agricultural science and technology projects include the level of innovation in scientific achievements, efficiency of research methods and creation of innovation environment. Through the variance analysis of the level of innovation and its influencing factors related to different innovators, it is found that there are differences in the statistical significance of level of innovation in projects among universities, research institutes, research and extension departments directly under the government, and enterprises; there are no significant differences in the understanding of factors influencing innovation, that is, different innovators basically have the same understanding of factors influencing innovation, but the assessment on level of innovation in projects completed is different to some extent. On this basis, this paper proposes the recommendations for further strengthening the level of innovation in agricultural science and technology projects in order to provide a theoretical reference and practical basis for the project managers to effectively improve the level of agricultural science and technology project management, and enhance the level of innovation in projects.
