The programme introduced assessment for institutional academic activities, including science and educational ones. According to the Programme, the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) decided to create an evaluation system for providing the assessment of the RAS Programme. The system has to provide the assessment for the institutional academic activities on the basis of indicators and other indices. In process of the evaluation system design developers from our Institute apply Objectives-Resources-Results Approach. In the report it is suggested to consider stage-indicator tables' structure (for each from 4 institutional levels) built on the basis of correspondence between RAS Programme monitoring with 6 categories, indicators and other indices. It is planned to exploit the tables when discussing functions' specifications of the evaluation system with decision-makers
