There are five hundred researchers, four hundred engineers, nine hundred technicians and workers, and nine hundred machinery shop personnel. Four researchers are full members and five are corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Science, while fifty are Doctors of Science and one hundred and sixty are candidates of Science.
In November 1994, the Russian Government granted the Institute the status of being a State Scientific Center of the Russian Federation with the title of "The G.I. Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics". This honor signifies the worldwide recognition of the Institutes research achievements.
