The Control Council of TA CR is the agency's supervisory authority, with ten members appointed by the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic, proposed by legal entities engaged in research and development.

The Sectoral Commissions are advisory authorities which assess and evaluate project proposals that are applying for financial support for research, experimental development and innovation from public funds.

The main aim of the programme is to enable Czech companies and research organizations to work with institutions from non-European countries such as the United States, China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam.

The focus of the programme follows the priorities set by the National Research, Development and Innovation Policy of the Czech Republic for 2009 to 2015, in the context of ongoing European integration and world globalization.

This programme supports the creation and operation of RD&I centres that are innovative, competitive, sustainable, have a market potential and centralize the research and application capacities of the public and private sectors.
