The young scientist of the Vyatka State University Tatyana Kutyavina won a grant with the project “Search and identification of genetic markers of cyanobacteria toxicity in water bodies of the Vyatka-Kama Cis-Urals”.
“The study of cyanobacteria (CB) and their toxicity in the reservoirs of the Vyatka-Kama Cis-Urals is of scientific and practical interest, since the reservoirs of the region have been functioning for more than 200 years, their ecosystems are fully formed and remain resistant to anthropogenic and technogenic impacts. The study of CBs living in such conditions can make a significant contribution to the compilation of the ecological and geographical characteristics of toxin-producing CBs and the development of methods and technologies to reduce their numbers”, - “The study of cyanobacteria (CB) and their toxicity in the reservoirs of the Vyatka-Kama Cis-Urals is of scientific and practical interest, since the reservoirs of the region have been functioning for more than 200 years, their ecosystems are fully formed and remain resistant to anthropogenic and technogenic impacts.

The competition of initiative projects is aimed at supporting young researchers under the age of 33 who have defended their Ph.D. dissertations, regardless of position and citizenship.
Based on the results of competitions, the Russian Science Foundation supported 431 initiative projects of young scientists with grants of up to 2 million rubles annually, 254 projects of youth research groups with funding of up to 6 million rubles annually, and also extended funding for 109 similar projects supported in 2020.
The Presidential Research Projects Program was developed by the Foundation in 2017 on behalf of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin, its main tasks are to support long-term projects of leading scientists and create career trajectories for promising young researchers.
