Description
Summary:Identifying aspects that can better distribute funding is a challenge both in Brazil and worldwide since Brazilian research funding agencies have limited resources to develop activities. Society and researchers alike expect results and the applicability of projects because of a local and global demand. On the other hand, at least regionally, the uniformity of criteria allows measuring the impacts of resources applied to research. Considering the areas of knowledge and using an exploratory qualitative analysis, this study sought to list a set of criteria and sub-criteria that guide the distribution of resources by agencies or institutions that promote research. As a result, we proposed a set of criteria for the promotion of research projects in Brazil that support the different areas of knowledge and favor the construction of a process that meets both current social demand, with answers to everyday issues, and comprehensive care, considering population aging and quality of life needs. The observation of how to develop regional development actions, the internationalization of universities, and the entire supply chain of existing knowledge production is also important, reinforcing that the government should be more effective in reducing disparities and increasing the quality of research in public policies for research promotion. Further studies can therefore analyze the distribution of resources for research promotion in Brazil which are common to different areas of knowledge, according to the classification of the National Research Council (CNPq).
