| Abstract | |
The evaluation of research activities is essential for the goverrunental agencies involved in funding large programs of science, technology and innovation (S,T&I). Currently, evaluation initiatives have been used for legitimating of public spending resources and also to verify the resul.ts and impacts of the funded projects. Evaluation of such programs produces qualified inforrnation that can be used for the improvement of the programs and support subsequent decisions on the public and private financing. However, the debate on the evaluation of S, T &I funding in Brazil is recent in both public arid private sectors. ln face of the complexity of the S,T&I system, improved evaluation methodologies have been proposed to collect the results and impacts of these programs in a comprehensive and appropriated manner. ln view of the multiplicity of actors involved and the non-linear nature of the activities developed in the S, T &I programs, the objective of the present work was to contribute for the progress of the evaluation methodologies, through the development and application of appropriate indicators to evaluate the Support for lntellectual Property ProgramlOffice for Patenting and Licensing of Technology (PAPI/Nuplitec), of the State of São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP). The choice of the program to be evaluated was due to the enormou's importance of the intellectual property to the nation's economic development and the increasing need for the transformation of scientific knowledge into innovations for the productive sector. The work made the use of the decomposition approach of evaluation, which is based on two axes: the decomposition of the formal objectives of the programs and the dialog with the different actors involved. At the end, the results have shown the relevance of the program to support intellectual property and promotion of culture of patenting in the context of the research institutions of the state of São Paulo (AU) | |
