CONTEST CONDITIONS
General provisions. All types of support for oriented fundamental research are conducted by the foundation on competitive basis irrespective to age, academic status, academic degree or position chaired by a scientist, and industrial affiliation of the organizations, employing scientists and specialists.
Every scientist and specialist at the same moment may participate in several types of RFFI contests.
For the contests "ofi-a", "ofi-p", "ofi-e" scientist and specialist have the right as a manager to submit only one application at a time and, respectively, at the end of contests may head only one project, which have received financial support from RFFI in the direction – oriented fundamental research (including contest "ofi-a" 2004 year).
For the contests "ofi-a", "ofi-p", "ofi-e" scientist or specialist, heading the project, may simultaneously participate as a member in other projects, but he might receive financing as participant only in one project. It is prohibited to participate as a participant in the project, headed by and official administrative subordinate.
One of the conditions of financial support provided by the Foundation is a reference, made by scientists and specialists about the fact that their works were supported by the foundation made in published materials related to supported projects.
Obligatory condition is consent, given to the Foundation by the authors to publish project report (in hardcopy and electronic format).
Project participants shall spend financial means provided by the Foundation only for the purposes, specified in the application. Foundation shall abstain from giving recommendations on changes or additions in defining projects, presented for the contest.
Foundation publishes the list of supported projects.
Expertise. All the applications approved for the contest shall pass multi-level independent expertise. Information about the content of projects and independent expertise is strictly confidential. According to the rules of the Foundation experts and coworkers of the foundation shall have no right to disseminate it. Foundation will not provide any information to applicant about reasons why the project was declined – verbally or as a review of the project.
Peculiarities of contests in the year 2005 – Oriented fundamental research.
Following are the obligatory conditions for contest participation for the group of scientists:
- previous participation in projects supported by Russian Foundation for fundamental research (including international and regional ones)
Or
- participation in fundamental research projects, previously executed by scientific-research organizations of Russian Federation, included in the work-plans of these organizations, scientific-research projects which have passed State registration.
Objective of the contest: on the basis of special system of criteria, on the stage of execution of oriented fundamental researches it is necessary to discover possibilities of practical application of the results of such fundamental researches for creation of the foundation for future technologies, materials, equipment or the services. Closeness to project completion is a very important factor. As a rule, projects have to be brought to the condition of laboratory sample or a prototype, demonstrating key advantages of new technology (devise, material).
These results shall provide an opportunity for creation of absolutely new products, breakthrough technologies and services (contest "ofi-a"), or they shall assist to progress in solving scientific objectives, set in the course of realization of Federal programs, ordered by Federal Industrial Agency or the Federal Agency on Nuclear Energy (contests "ofi-p" and "ofi-e"). In the course of contest expert committee of RFFI, with the participation of representatives of Rosprom and Rosatom (in the framework of acting agreements) shall select the projects oriented at fundamental studies, which, being based on fundamental idea, demonstrates results, aimed for application in the programs of Rosprom and Rosatom.
