Activities
"The RFBR provides on a competitive basis financial support to individual scientists and research teams, enabling them to select research topics independently, to set up academic teams, and to concentrate resources on the most promising research projects." [3]

The Russian Foundation for Basic Research financially sponsors conferences and research,[4][5][6] provides collective bargaining in negotiating access to research databases for Russian research institutions,[7] and co-hosts the Scopus Awards with Elsevier for Russian scientists who score high in Elsevier's academic productivity and citation metrics and are strongly involved in RFBR’s programs and grants.[8]

RFBR research grants are usually only available to Russian researchers and their international collaborators.[9]

International collaboration

RFBR collaborates with other research foundations around the world, including CRDF Global,[10] the National Science Foundation[11] and National Institutes of Health[12][13] in the United States, the French National Center for Scientific Research,[14] the German Research Foundation[15][16][lower-alpha 1] the Royal Society of the United Kingdom,[18][19] the Iran National Science Foundation,[20] the Indian Ministry of Science and Technology,[21][22][23] the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment of the Republic of Cuba,[24] the Academy of Finland,[25] the Research Council of Norway,[26] and the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia.[27]

International joint projects
BRICS STI Framework Programme
BRICS is an association of the governments of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa which have met annually since 2009. In 2015, BRICS members completed a memorandum of understanding on collaboration in science, technology, and innovation.[28][29] The Russian Foundation for Basic Research is one of several Russian state agencies which are implementing these collaborations.[30][31]
Lake Elgygytgyn
While no Russian agency is a member of the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program, RFBR financially sponsors the International Drilling Program's work at Lake Elgygytgyn.[32]
e-ASIA Joint Research Program
The Russian Foundation for Basic Research is a member of the e-ASIA Joint Research Program, an effort to promote innovation in science and technology in the East Asian region as a means of spurring economic development.[33][34]
