Currently, Federal target programs are one of the effective instruments of funding from the budget of the Russian Federation. In this article there is a brief description of the Federal target program “Research and development on priority directions of development of scientific-technological complex of Russia for 2014–2020” (hereinafter – the Federal target program “R & D”). This program presents 6 of the 8 priority areas of science, technology and engineering in the Russian Federation. The authors of the article analyzed the active participation of Russian organizations in competitive tenders for the provision of subsidies from the Federal budget held through the activities 1.2 and 1.3 of the Federal target program “R & D”. We have identified the most demanded event among the member organizations in the competitive selection. We also determined the composition of the member organizations by the lines of activity and organizations that submitted the largest number of applications for participation in competitive tenders for lots of activities 1.2 and 1.3 of the Federal target program “R & D”. To optimize the use of budgetary funds, the authors propose to amend conditions of development of the tender documentation and change procedures for future selections regarding the activities of the member organizations of competitive selection that will increase the effectiveness of the implementation of the Federal target program “R & D”. In particular, it is proposed to consider the possibility of preferential lending to small businesses, increase the number of industrial partners to reduce the financial burden on each industrial partner, and reallocate resources in favour of the most popular areas and competitive selection through the Federal target program “R & D”.
