This study uses panel data from 111 Chinese "211 Project" and provincial-ministry co-established universities from 2008 to 2016. R&D funding is the explanatory variable, while the number of publications in international and national journals and the total number of projects are the dependent variables. A multiple linear regression model is employed to investigate the relationship between R&D funding and research output across different regions in China. The results indicate a significant positive correlation between R&D funding and both the number of publications in international and national journals and the total number of projects. However, the extent to which increased funding promotes research output varies by region.
