Análise da implementação do Programa Genoprot

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the implementation process of the third phase of the Genoprot, MCTI program which overall objective is to promote the expansion of scientific knowledge in genomics and proteomics and the development of new biotechnology products and processes of economic and social interest. The Genoprot Program is executed in a decentralized manner by the S&T Development Agencies, through individual research projects defined by public calls. The aim of this study was to evaluate the format and suitability of these calls, as from the context of the implementation of policies aimed at the Brazilian development of S,T&I and biotechnology, of the characterization of public calls for projects launched and for data collection through questionnaire about the program supported projects coordinators. This research concluded that the program is aligned to the features of current S,T&I policy and that its implementation is focused on ex-ante evaluation. The public calls were considered well suited by the supported research projects coordinators. As a counterpoint, the continuation of the program needs adjustments to the planned objectives be fully achieved and program systematic evaluation will constitute a quite useful tool in generating the necessary inputs for decision making on the new directions of the Genoprot Program.
