Methods. The study employs expert and analytical methods and methods of informal analysis, reflecting analytical procedures at the logical level, which enabled to develop a system of indicators of the effectiveness of State support to universities participating in the Priority 2030 Program, and their criteria values. Results. Solving the task of increasing the international status of Russian universities, the State financial support for academic excellence programs should fit into regular mechanisms of per capita and program-targeted funding.
