Findings. It is emphasized that the specific realities of the transitional state of the social and economic system became the ontological foundation of the modernization changes of the national economy.

In view of the task of modernization transformations, the adoption of measures to activate innovative activity through the substantiation and implementation of state support tools, the material and technical support of scientific structures with modern tools and equipment for scientific research, the formation of financial motivation for the productive work of researchers and the implementation of European norms and standards are argued organization and funding of fundamental research. Practical value. The theoretical and methodological provisions of this study deepen the practical toolkit of institutional regulation of the modernization of the national economy.
