National electronic scientific information system «URIS» as a tool for providing competitive selections of scientific (scientific and technical) projects

Анотація

Conducting competitive selections is a prerequisite for funding individual scientific and scientific-technical programs, projects, and the allocation of state budget grants through targeted support. The effectiveness of such funding distribution largely depends on the quality of competition organization and execution. To ensure competitive selections in the conditions of digitalization, a clear, comfortable and orderly system of digital services for scientific purposes with a developed network of interconnections is necessary.

The purpose was to determine the role of the National Electronic Scientific Information System (System) in ensuring competitive selections of scientific (scientific and technical) projects. The analysis involved the study of regulatory and legal acts using general scientific (empirical) and general logical methods. To examine the operation of the «Competitions» module within the System, functional analysis, modeling (using BPMN), and information analysis were applied to assess qualitative and quantitative process characteristics. Statistical methods were used to analyze the results, complemented by data visualization (interactive diagrams).

To ensure competitive selections, the specifics of which are determined by the regulatory legal acts, an adaptation of the universal procedure scheme that formed the basis for the development of the Competitions Module was implemented, which led to changes, proposals for changes not only in the related regulatory and legal field, but also in ecosystem of module.

Providing competitions in the System made it possible to cover some of the challenges facing competitive procedures and project financing. Analysis of information processes in the Competitions Module contributed to the intensification of work on their improvement. Analysis of data of the results, provided they were constantly accumulated, allowed to form an overall picture of the scientific and partly innovative landscape of research support, provided the opportunity to conduct comprehensive forecasting activities with the aim of concentrating financial resources to ensure scientific, scientific and technical, and innovative development in the medium and long term.
