The article deals with organizational details and results of the infrastructural project that has been implemented over 15 years in several Moscow schools with consulting support of a pedagogical university. The goal of the project: through the interaction of schools and the university, develop and test a comprehensive system of didactic and methodological support for the development of research culture in schoolchildren as a metasubject result. Such support has been designed as a complex intraschool didactic and methodological system that includes the priority values and goals of meta-subject education, the determination of the activity-based component of meta-subject education content, the projects of meta-subject courses, methodological recommendations on designing meta-subject lessons and organizing students’ research. This system of didactic and methodological support requires managerial assistance that ensures coordination and consistency in the work of additional education pedagogues, teachers, university teachers who consult student research.
