Abstract
The definition of scientific priorities in life sciences is aimed at achieving a rational balance in the development of scientific areas, ensuring maximum consideration of public interests. At present, the general principles of determining the priorities of scientific research in the field of healthcare and medical science are formulated, but systematic analysis of the existing approaches to their determination was not carried out. The article conducted a study of the methods, criteria and procedures that are used in our country and abroad to determine the priorities of scientific research in the life sciences. The possibilities and limitations of existing approaches to prioritization are identified. The analysis of the results of the establishment of priorities in terms of achieving the goals and their impact on the scientific and technical policy and practice of health is performed.
Keywords:
