Subject The absorption capacity of outputs of State scientific and technical programs is a factor impacting their successful practical implementation. Therefore, the empirical study of the absorption capacity is particularly important due to dominating research-and-development activities performed within the programs that entail high risk and uncertainty of resulting effects. Objectives The objective of the empirical study is to mitigate the dysfunctions of the national innovative system in the sphere of diffusion of results of State scientific and technical programs. Methods The paper draws upon a set of empirical methods of research, like questioning, survey and expert review; the verbal analysis of solutions and the theory of multisets as a methodological framework for the systems analysis of the absorption capacity of program outputs. I apply general scientific research methods to identify dysfunctions of the national innovative system. Results The paper includes methodological recommendations on arranging and performing the comprehensive examination of the outcomes of dedicated State scientific and technical programs, and the performed systems analysis of the absorption capacity of the program outcomes. I identified a number of dysfunctions of the national innovative system in the sphere of diffusion of results of State scientific and technical programs, and made proposals for their mitigation. Conclusions The empirical study enabled to identify a number of areas for improvement. They reflect general dysfunctions of the national innovative system. To achieve effective practical realization of the outcomes, it is necessary to take a set of organizational and economic measures to mitigate the dysfunctions.
