What I am thinking is here research is not meant, most probably it is academic. (science also might be, but I don't think)
So more correct is:
to strengthen the Institute's Academic capacity (excellence)
I think фундамент здесь лишний

Or
Scientific capacity or excellence - capacity covers what is in the context.

: NB: You cannot use 'potential' without a head word here, it would be a mistranslation.

strengthening the underpinnings of the [institute's] scientific prowess
Instead of strengthening, you could choose "reinforcing" or "improving" or "building up." For me the choice might depend on how many times укрепление, улучшение, повышение are sprinkled through the text.
As for "scientific" vs. "research," the choice would be influenced on precisely what kind of institute it is, and also what this committee's function is.

I would add, in light of your note on Boris's comment, that "prowess" is not necessarily braggadocio, though it can be. I think it fits better in English than "potential," which in my view is used too often as a lazy translation of "потенциал". And it's more in the direction of strength/excellence/success/accomplishments or the ability to achieve them, than "capacity" would be.
Examples:
However, part of the problem afflicting the country's research prowess is the ongoing brain-drain.
https://financialtribune.com/articles/economy-sci-tech/62097...
These facilities will further boost the country's scientific research prowess as well as support in carrying out large-scale projects.

...the much awaited report on India's scientific prowess is finally out.
https://www.downtoearth.org.in/blog/the-india-science-report...
The kicker on that article is one of those wonderful mixed metaphors that journalists in India sometimes indulge in: "Country's scientific prowess cat is out of the bag."

Note from asker:
| Thank you! Boris, it's actually quite specific... |
Peer comment(s):

Boris Shapiro
: 'Prowess' looks suitably self-important. This seems to be a piece of bureaucratic self-marketing, so, most probably, nothing specific and tangible like 'research capacity' is meant.
