The Government was also instructed, while drafting the programme, to include provisions for using Russian scientific and technological research to produce hi-tech products on Russian territory and to upgrade and further develop various branches of the economy, as well as to envision mechanisms for attracting funds from private and public entities to pursue research, and scientific and technological projects, based on the leading research facilities and educational institutions.
In addition, the Government was instructed to submit legislative amendments concerning scientific and technological expert assessment, criteria and mechanisms for implementation, and guidelines for monitoring and assessing the effectiveness of budget spending on state support for scientific research and non-military engineering.
