CRIS (Current-Research Information Systems) systems are designed for collection, storing and processing information about the scientific and educational activities at multiple levels: from several researchers to the entire organization (university, institute). Information analysis in such systems is usually used for preparation of management decisions aimed at organization efficiency improvement. Conduction of various stimulating contests looks as one of the ap-proaches to stimulate research organizations and universities activity. Procedures automation for each contest both significantly simplifies them and solves a number of administrative problems. For this purpose, it seems convenient to use mechanisms of CRIS-systems, which are widely used in scientific and educational organizations to date. In this paper we present an approach for the automation of the contest procedures. Such approach has been implemented in the ISTINA information system of Lomonosov Moscow State University.
