20)Give an assessment to grant system of science funding in Great Britain.
At the present stage, in the conditions of limited state funding for conducting research in higher education and increasing the financial costs for their conduct (wages, utilities, purchase and maintenance of equipment, office expenses, trips to business trips, publication of scientific papers, participation in conferences, and so on .). The role of grant financing, allocated by various funds, public organizations, is growing. In addition to the financial side, getting support from the grant fund is very prestigious not only for the grantee, but for the organization in which he works. The receipt of financial support confirms the value of ongoing research, as well as credibility and recognition in the scientific community. Writing applications for grants and reporting on the work done is an integral part of the teacher's work in all developed countries. The number of grants received is one of the indicators of both the scientific competence of the teacher and the scientific activity of the university as a whole. This is due to the fact that grants are allocated for sufficiently serious scientific projects that have a fundamental value. So, the grant acts as one of the means to stimulate the scientific growth of teachers, increase their professional skills. This trend is typical not only for Russian practice, but also for foreign ones.
But if the domestic grant system of financing began to take shape in the early 90s of the last century, then abroad it was already sufficiently developed. The founder of the grant system of financing is the United Kingdom, where in 1660 the Royal Society of London was established, whose activity was aimed at supporting science, by providing money for various studies .
