Until the1980s the so-called undirected programs, without specific goals and requiring only scientific merit, prevailed. The fewprograms with defined goals in this period were never objectively assessed. The same situation occurred in developedcountries. In the early 1990s, the assessment of programs supported by public funding became mandatory in US andsome European countries. In Brazil, program assessment has so far not been implemented yet. The Fundação deAmparo à Pesquisa no Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) (Brazilian funding agency) Young Investigator (YI) Program isin its eleventh year, with approximately eight hundred projects awarded. Although it is free-demand based as concernsareas of knowledge, it has specific goals : (1) conceding grants to YI in view of the balance between funding, merit andreal needs so as to enable satisfactory working conditions in the short term, (2) providing priority for institutions with aless extensive background in research, (3) granting a special fellowship to YI with no employment connection and (4)introduction of new research fronts in centers with a sound research background. This assessment provided evidencefor the achievement of first three goals. The fourth one is still pending on additional data requiring survey assessment.Actions in this direction are recommended. 2007 artículo científico 0001-3765 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=32779314 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=327 Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências application/pdf Academia Brasileira de Ciências Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.79 |
