Presidential grants. Grants of the President of the Russian Federation to young scientists

As you know, any project should develop, butfor this, first of all, investments will be required, which in the future will be of use. Young professionals in Russia have a huge potential that requires state support, so there is such a thing as presidential grants.

What is a grant?

The grant is designed to help young specialists incertain areas of science that are candidates or doctors. Get a grant is not only the scientist himself, but also the head of the whole team, which conducts scientific work in Russia with growing talented students.

The funds allocated for promotion are laid in the state budget. Often, to get a grant from the President of the Russian Federation, it is required to pass a competition.

How are grants distributed?

Competitions for the possibility of receiving assistance from the state, as a rule, are held for the development of scientific research at the state level. Such categories of citizens can take part in them:

1. Young scientists who are candidatesSciences, and at the time of participation in the competition they were not 35 years old. For the contest of presidential grants, they are granted dissertations on various scientific topics, which have not been studied by anyone and are novel in science. For example, it can be technological research.
2. The second category is citizens under 40,who have already become doctors of science. The competition can accept doctoral works that are associated with a specific scientific topic and are backed up by rigorous evidence.
3. Scientific organizations take part in competitionsRussia. But it is worth noting that this should be an established team in which there are studies of scientists of different age categories and scientific degrees.

All researchers should be selected onedirection, and their joint activities should focus on one overall result. Grants for development are given to collectives that have well-trained scientific personnel, there must necessarily be a leader and researchers who have not turned 35 years old.

Who is given the President's grants

Scientific works initially come toconsideration of a special scientific commission. Direct attention is paid to the fact that the work must meet all the conditions of the competition, otherwise it may not be accepted. If the commission has approved the work, then it is forwarded to the Council, where the work is awarded to experts. An important role is played by this evaluation, as this will influence the winner's determination.

How the work of scientists

Once a positive decision is madecommission on the work of a young specialist, the state agency concludes a special agreement with him or with the organization where the contestant works. The document necessarily indicates the theme of the study, on which the young specialist worked, and he receives a grant from the President of the Russian Federation.

Work in the chosen direction of science should include not only the main part, but also such additions as:

1. Work plan.
2. Estimate of costs required for the implementation of research. It is indicated not only full funding, but also financing of each stage separately.
3. Describe all the obligations that are placed on the shoulders of a young scientist or organization, and the responsibility for spending the allocated funds.
4. Necessarily, the scientist must give his written consent for conducting scientific research on the scientific program developed by him.

In addition, other conditions for the use of the state grant may be added to the contract.

Can verification be carried out for the intended use of the grant?

As a rule, presidential grants are not issuedjust so, therefore, Federal agencies have the full right to conduct an audit for the purpose of spending the grant. Such moments are prescribed in the contract, which clearly indicates the obligations of the young scientist. He is obliged to follow the provided plan, and at each completed stage provide a report on the expenditure of funds.

Given the fact that a young scientist oran organization may need a base for experiments, the Federal Agency can attract extraneous organizations that will be able to provide all the necessary conditions for a successful study.

Who can get presidential grants?

State grants may be awarded to scientists,which make a significant contribution to the science of the state. Participants in such competitions can be Russian researchers or even entire organizations that create and explore scientific and technological innovations. Anyone can submit their work to the contest, which actively works at the Russian school and really makes a significant contribution to the development of science.

What are the terms of the grant and the size of the grant?

A presidential grant to young scientists canissued for a period of two years. Speaking in more detail about the size of the grants, it is worth noting that they can fluctuate, mostly everything depends on the costs that will be required to carry out the research. The total estimate includes the salary of a scientist who reaches 60,000 rubles a year for a candidate, and 84,000 for a doctor. Leaders who actively accompanied in the research work of young specialists receive a one-time reward of 24,000 rubles.

Amount of funds as material support

Contests, scholarships, grants - all thiscontributes to the development of science, so the state is trying in every possible way to provide financial assistance to young scientists. The amount of money is negotiated with the organization to which the funds will be transferred. It should be remembered that additional financial support can not be higher than half of the total amount of the grant.

On material support from the state canto count young scientists under 35 who are considered to be the main specialists of the school of the Russian Federation. Cash is given to a young specialist in addition to his or her salary. It is also important to remember the purpose of public funding. If in any way it turns out that the grants of the President of the Russian Federation, the young scientists allocated, are not used for the intended purpose, then the cash payments cease immediately.

Presidential scholarships

State support of young specialistscovers at least 40 young specialists up to the age of 35, who have a Ph.D. in science, for which 600,000 rubles are allocated from the state budget. The number of specialists under 40 who have a Ph.D. and receive presidential grants is 60 people, they are allocated 1 million rubles a year. The state annually allocates 400,000 rubles to the leading scientific schools.

In no event should we forget about scholarshipsPresident of the Russian Federation. Such payments are established for a period of up to 3 years and amount to 20,000 rubles. The number of students who can count on such financial support from the state is about 1000 people per year, and if we talk about the funds allocated from the state budget for these payments, then the total amount reaches 240 million rubles a year.

Rules for submitting a thesis for a grant

To receive grants from the President of the Russian Federation, young scientists should be sure to familiarize themselves with all the rules for submitting work to the commission. As a rule, all competitions are held in two stages:

1. The first stage is conducted for young specialists who are candidates of science.
2. The second stage is carried out for those researchers who already have a doctorate in science.

The grant applicant must remember that he can submit his work only within the framework of one application. Grant applicants can not become:

1. Winners of last year, as the term of their first grant has not yet expired.
2. Owners of the Presidential scholarship.

In turn, organizations that serveapplication for participation in the competition for a grant, must have a good material base, the necessary equipment for conducting research work, an exceptional reputation, and not have problems with the tax inspection. The organization will not be able to take part if its property was arrested, and the economic activity itself is suspended.

It should be noted that presidential grants for NGOs have been calculated. Non-profit organizations can also submit their applications for participation in the competition.

What are the priorities for the development of science this year?

Grants are allocated for quite a long time, asit is usually two years, but only projects that can really be called fundamental are financed. To date, the commission most prefers the works written in the context of the following areas of science:

1. Mathematics and engineering.
2. Physical discoveries and discoveries in the field of astronomy.
3. The discovery of new chemical materials and technologies.
4. Scientific research in the field of biology.
5. New discoveries in rational nature management and the struggle for ecology.
6. Humanities are welcome.
7. Discoveries in the field of medicine.
8. Engineering projects.
9. Information and technological direction.
10. Agronomy and the development of agriculture.

Analyzing the work already submitted, we can say that the most popular topics among young people are:

1. Protection of life and health of people, with the active promotion of a healthy lifestyle, which will further reduce the number of manifestations of incurable diseases.
2. Projects that relate to education and enlightenment are actively moving forward.
3. Many works are aimed at solving the problem of social services, including support for the unprotected strata of the population.
4. Popular in the field of culture and science, as well as topics relating to the preservation of historical values.

Contests, scholarships, grants are becoming excellentmotivation for the development of youth, which seeks to achieve great heights in science. Talented young scientists must manifest themselves in different spheres of activity, making the state stronger and demanding. The more the amount of such incentives and state aid is, the more talented people will be able to manifest themselves in different scientific directions, offering more innovative projects that will help make the world around them better.
