The article is devoted to actual theme related to the research infrastructure formation in Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD) and, in particular, its personnel component. The main scientific and practical problem of the article is the weak level of regional research infrastructure (SRI) development. It is shown in the backlog of FEFD from other Russian regions in terms of for a number of infrastructure indicators, including those related to personnel engaged in research and development (R&D). The purpose of the research is to actualize current trends and problems in the development of the research infrastructure personnel component in Far Eastern Federal District at the present days. The object of the article is the research infrastructure personnel potential in FEFD. The subject of the research is the current trends and problems that hold back the preservation, development and reproduction of the personnel potential in FEFD. The methodological basis of the research is the general thesis of modern macroeconomics, as well as the concept of innovative development, in which a modern model of territorial  research  institutes  is  organically  integrated.  Based  on  the  analysis  of  statistical  data
from the sphere of science and education, the dynamics of staff number engaged in research and development in FEFD is identified, the dynamics of scientific personnel studying in graduate and doctoral schools is reflected, a general assessment of their training effectiveness is made. The factors that determine the current trends in the reproduction of the FEFD human resources potential in science are: a lower level of wages for scientists compared to the national level, and also reforming the training system for scientific and pedagogical personnel and dissertation councils network. Based on a comparative analysis of the FEFD indicators and the Russian ones as a whole, it is concluded that some negative trends in the regional SRI personnel component development have been preserved. The main problems that obstruct the abundant development of the SRI personnel potential in the Far Eastern Federal District
are: declining reproduction of the FEFD scientific staff, as well as weak external and internal incentives for the development and reproduction of the SRI human potential in the region.
