Four projects of Novocherkassk Polytechnics received the support of the Russian Science Foundation within the framework of the competition of small individual scientific groups.

The Russian Science Foundation summed up the results of the most massive competition in the Fund's line. According to the results of the expert assessment, 1822 projects received support, for which the Russian National Fund will allocate more than 2.7 billion rubles in 2022. Grants will be allocated for the implementation of fundamental and exploratory scientific research in 2022-2023 in all branches of knowledge of the RNF classifier.

The competition received more than 9 thousand applications from 81 regions of Russia, according to the results of the examination, 1822 of them were supported.

"The competition of small scientific groups is currently the most massive in the RNF both in terms of the number of applications considered and the number of projects supported," commented Andrey Blinov, Deputy General Director - Head of the Department of Programs and Projects of the RNF, on the results of the competition. - The experts of the Foundation conducted several tens of thousands of examinations of applications – individual and at the sections of the expert council… The winners represent 443 organizations from 74 regions of the country, this is a really impressive result."

Experts were supported by Novocherkassk Polytechnic chemists: V.M. Talanov with the project "Multiorder in quantum materials with pyrochlore sublattices: the relationship of spin, orbital, charge and structural degrees of freedom", M.A. Shevchenko - "Water-soluble M/NHC catalysts based on hydrophilic ligands of the imidazole series", O.V. Khazipov - "Development of new methods generation of active catalytic systems from air-stable Ni(II) compounds for cross-combination reactions", A.Yu. Chernenko - "Development of new methods of catalytic functionalization of 1,2,4-triazoles for the synthesis of biologically active compounds".

The supported projects will be carried out in 2022-2023 by small scientific groups of up to four people. The average grant amount for the project is 1.49 million rubles per year.
