肖传国是国家973计划人口与健康领域“神经损伤修复和功能重建的应用基础研究”项目的首席科学家。973计划项目申请书中须填写“推荐项目首席科学家研究工作简历、主要学术业绩”等信息；科技部规章规定“对在填写国家科技计划项目有关材料时弄虚作假的”，一经发现并核实后，将严肃处理。

Xiao is the chief scientist in charge of the project “Repair of Neurological Injury and Restoration of Neurological Functions” in the field of Population and Health which is a part of the National 973 Program for Key Scientific Research and Development (the special grant for cutting-edge, large-scale fundamental research and development, funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology, i.e., MOST, with each award typically from 1 million USD to tens of million USD over a three-year period.) For assisting peer review, an applicant to any 973 project must fill out a form to describe his work experiences and major academic achievements. One of the MOST regulations specifies clearly that “those who provide false or exaggerated information when applying for a research grant are to be punished with severity upon exposure and confirmation.”

国家重点基础研究发展计划网站肖传国简介中称肖传国获得“美国泌尿学会杰出成就奖（2000）”，而事实是其从未获得美国泌尿学会颁发的成就奖（AUA Certificate of Achievement），在美国泌尿学会网站公布的各奖项获奖名单中
也没有肖传国的名字，且肖传国在有关案件的庭审中也自认没有获得“美国泌尿学会杰出成就奖”。

Xiao’s profile listed on the web page of the 973 Program (http://www.973.gov.cn/) claims that he won the prestigious Certificate of Achievement of the American Urology Association (AUA) in 2000. However, the fact is that he never won such an honor; his name cannot be found among the winners listed by the official AUA website. Furthermore, in his testifying in a Wuhan civil court, Xiao admitted that he never won an AUA Certificate of Achievement.

鉴于国家重点基础研究发展计划网站的所有者科技部基础研究司不可能为肖传国编造获奖信息，因此，足以断定肖传国在申报973计划项目时故意虚报获奖信息。

Considering that it is impossible for the homepage owner of the 973 Program, i.e., the Fundamental Research Division of the MOST, to fabricate such an academic honor for Xiao, it can be concluded that Xiao himself intentionaly provided the faudulent information in his application for the 973 project.
