NEW CRITERIA FOR ASSESSING EFFICIENCY OF RESEARCHERS AND DECISIONMAKERS RESPONSIBLE FOR EXPENDITURE OF STATE RESOURCES ON RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Abstract
The article offers systematic criteria for assessing efficiency of researchers and decision-makers responsible for the expenditure of state resources invested in research and development. These criteria are suggested in drafts of normative acts developed by Russian Ministry of science and education and by Federal agency of scientific organizations in 2015.
The article provides assessment of the comparability of two suggested criteria within one category of indicators. There are developed a set of suggestions on how to form a system of unified and clearly read criteria, more adequate in relation with objectives for developing mechanisms for competitive funding of scientific-research and design and experimental inventions.
