The complex program of research grants of the "BASIS" Foundation is aimed at supporting active scientists who conduct theoretical research in the field of fundamental mathematics.

First of all, the program is aimed at supporting students, graduate students and young scientists who conduct research under the guidance of leading scientists working at the highest international level.

The program includes the following grant competitions:

Competition	Aims	Applicant requirements
Leader	Offer an opportunity for talented young scientists to pursue their research under the supervision of leading scientists, performing at the highest international level; Contribute to the development of the existing research teams of the internationally competitive level as well as the emergence of the new ones.	The head of the group: PhD or higher doctoral degree; no less than 5 publications* in the last 10 years. Within the competition the support can be granted to the research groups, consisting of the leading scientist and 2-4 young researchers (PhD degree, PhD-students, young researchers without PhD degree, and senior students).
Junior Leader	The head of the group: not above 45 years old***; PhD or higher doctoral degree; no less than 3 publications in the last 6 years. Within the competition the support can be granted to the research groups, consisting of the leading scientist and 1-2 young researchers (PhD-students, and senior students).
