Russian Science Foundation announced the results of the grant competition for small separate research teams. Funding is allocated for basic and exploratory research in 2024 - 2025 in all fields of knowledge. The size of one RNF grant is up to 1.5 million RUB annually.
The main objectives of the competition are to promote topics new to the research teams and to build research teams. The team size (project leader included) should be 2 to 4 persons.
Projects by researchers from the Karelian Research Centre RAS supported within the 2023 Russian Science Foundation grant competition in the priority area “Implementation of basic research and exploratory research by separate small research teams” are:
“Development of domestic and inbound tourism in the Arctic regions of the Russian Federation considering local interests and sustainable nature management” (Leader Kondrateva S.V., Cand. Sci. (Econ.), Senior Researcher, Department of Regional Economic Policy, Institute of Economics, KarRC RAS)
“Nematodes as bioindicators of invasive plant species’ impact on northern soil ecosystems (case study of Sosnowskii’s giant hogweed)” (Leader Sushchuk A.A., Cand. Sci. (Biol.), Senior Researcher, Laboratory of Animal and Plant Parasitology, Institute of Biology, KarRC RAS)
“Formation of the population genetic structure of rare ungulate mammal species under growing human impact, case study of wild forest reindeer (Rangifer tarandus fennicus Lonnb.) in Northwest Russia” (Leader Panchenko D.V., Cand. Sci. (Biol.), Senior Researcher, Laboratory of Zoology, Institute of Biology, KarRC RAS)
“Impact of the Ligula intestinalis cestode invasion on defense mechanisms, reproductive potential, and market value of the bream Abramis brama» (Leader Lebedeva D.I., Cand. Sci. (Biol.), Senior Researcher, Laboratory of Animal and Plant Parasitology, Institute of Biology, KarRC RAS)
We congratulate the project leaders and participants on winning the grants and wish them productive work!

Projects of KarRC RAS researchers supported by Russian Science Foundation grants
Project applications by researchers from the Karelian Research Centre RAS have been supported by Russian Science Foundation grants. They deal with the development of domestic and international inbound tourism in the Russian Arctic, studies on the formation of wild forest reindeer population structure, identification of patterns in the formation of soil nematode communities upon plant invasions, and investigation of cestode invasion in cyprinids.

New light scattering model to help assess and predict the state of marine systems
An international research team has developed a three-stream model of light scattering in the sea. It processes satellite data on the incoming and emitted light fluxes into information on water characteristics: presence of impurities, phytoplankton concentration, pollutants, and other parameters. The system of equations for this study was written by Ilya Chernov, Senior Researcher at the Institute of Applied Mathematical Research KarRC RAS. The model has been successfully tested in the Mediterranean Sea, and researchers are interested in trying it in application to the Arctic.
