The Russian Foundation for Basic Research (“RFBR”) announces rules for submitting, and forms of, research- and financial reports under projects in oriented and targeted basic research -- the “ofi”-2008 and “ofi_ts”-2008 competitions, funding to which was provided in 2009 in knowledge areas 01-08.
Under all competitions reviewed will be only those reports that are prepared using our interactive Grant-Express system and that are submitted from February 15 to March 31, 2010, inclusively.
After the registration of an electronic report form using the Grant-Express system, the leader of the project must print out, sign and submit to RFBR one printed-out copy of the report by April 05, 2010.
Project managers not providing reports as required and also project managers leading those projects whose funding was stopped early due to the unsatisfactory quality of the research conducted will be deprived of the right to participate in RFBR competitions.
Because the funding period for “ofi” and “ofi_ts” projects of 2008 elapsed in 2009, all reports under such projects are final reports.
The Foundation provides its funding on the condition (among other comditions) that participating scientists will undertake to make public the results of their research by publishing such results crediting RFBR for provided support, specifically the publication of such results in Russian publications is mandatory. In particular, it is also mandatory for participants of RFBR competitions to allow the Foundation to publish their research reports under relevant projects (in print and electronic media).
