O processo de acompanhamento e avaliação das transferências voluntárias de recursos do CNPq em parceria com as FAP

The aim of this study was to analyze and understand how the Evaluation of Voluntary Transfer of Union Resources is carried out , decentralized by CNPq to the State Foundations for Research Support (FAP). We sought to identify mechanisms to promote the establishment of research and development in areas with higher proportions of inequalities and still without the necessary infrastructure to use science and technology, aimed at achieving regional development. Federal policies of internalization of science and technology edited in a planned and structured way, among others, were initiated in the country more than two decades ago. In more recent policies, new instruments were introduced, such as the decentralization of federal funds and its programs and projects, which were of priority implementation to the State-Nation and that were decentralized for other entities of the Federation. Procedures and routines used by CNPq for the transfer of federal funds and monitoring mechanisms were analyzed, as well as the monitoring and evaluation of the resources transferred through institutional partnerships with the State Foundations for Research Support (FAP). CNPq’s internal granting process were examined, and the procedures to face legal requirements, as well as the effectiveness of this procedure. Interviews were conducted with staff and managers from CNPq, committed to the implementation and management of the voluntary transfers and a survey to the FAP receiving such transfers.
