The Russian Science Foundation has summed up the results of the most large-scale competition of small individual scientific teams. This competition is organized instead of the RFBR competition for initiative projects, after the merge of the two funds. The results of the competition for joint projects with the Ministry of Science and Technology of Taiwan have also been summed up. Based on the results of the expert assessment in these competitions, 6 projects of scientists from the Federal Research Center "KSC SB RAS" were supported.

The main task of the competition for small research teams is the creation and development of new research subjects and formation of research teams. Grants will be allocated for the implementation of fundamental and exploratory research in 2022 - 2023 by small research teams of up to 4 people. The average size of a grant for a project is 1.49 million roubles per year.

More than 9 thousand applications for the competition from 81 regions of Russia were received. According to the examination results,1822 of them were supported, and among them there are 5 projects of scientists of the Federal Research Center "KSC SB RAS". Within the framework of the competition for fundamental scientific research and exploratory scientific research, international scientific teams along with the Ministry of Science and Technology of Taiwan supported 14 projects, and one of them is a team of scientists from the Federal Research Center "KSC SB RAS".

We congratulate the winners and wish them success in their work!
