English translation:industrial sector academies of science, industry-linked academies of science
Explanation:
Those are a couple of the formulations used with respect to the organization of R&D in the USSR, although there were most industrial ministry-linked "institutes", than "academies". Similar terms are still found in writing about China.

In the USA, there are "research universities", sometimes linked with one or another industry, but that's too far away for this Russian term.

  -> Спасибо! Смущает только одно, что это скорее всего наша, советская реалия, все эти отраслевые академии наук, так как на западных сайтах это сочетание почти не встречается. У них такого просто-напросто и нет, наверное...
