ABSTRACT

SUMMARY BACKGROUND. This study aimed to evaluate the scientific production of researchers in the field of Medicine who receive a productivity grant from the CNPq. METHODS: The curriculum Lattes of 542 researchers with active grants from 2012 to 2014 were included in the analysis. Grants categories/levels were stratified into three groups according to the CNPq database (1A-B, 1C-D, and 2). RESULTS. There was a predominance of grants in category 2. During their academic career, Medicine researchers published 76512 articles, with a median of 119 articles per researcher (IQ, interquartile range, 77 to 174). Among the 76512 articles, 36584 (47.8%) were indexed in the Web of Science (WoS database). Researchers in Medicine were cited 643159 times in the WoS database, with a median of 754 citations (IQ, 356 to 1447). There were significant differences among the categories of grants concerning the number of citations in WoS (P <0.001). There was a significant difference in the number of times researchers were cited according to the specialty included in Medicine area. (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION. Strategies to improve the scientific output qualitatively possibly can be enhanced by the knowledge of the profile of researchers in the field of Medicine.

ABSTRACT

O presente estudo analisou as características da produção científica sobre trabalho infantil na América Latina, de 2004 a 2014. Foram encontrados 114 trabalhos, nas bases de dados LILACS e SciELO. Os artigos foram categorizados com base nos conceitos de campo e agentes sociais de Pierre Bourdieu, destacando os produtores, os locais de publicação, os objetos e discursos. Observou-se um crescimento da produção no período, especificamente a partir de 2006. O Brasil ocupou a posição dominante na produção científica com 80,7% do total, seguido da Colômbia, Argentina e México. Os objetos de estudo são majoritariamente de abordagem qualitativa (55,3%) e metade dos artigos está indexada em revistas Qualis B1 ou superior. Apenas 14,9% das pesquisas, no entanto, receberam financiamento. Os produtores são de origens diversas, com a participação de psicólogos (26,3%), enfermeiros (17,5%) e economistas (13,2%). Os estudos estão situados em subáreas das Ciências Humanas, constituídas pelos discursos da Psicologia Social e do Desenvolvimento; Ciências da Saúde com destaque para os estudos epidemiológicos, pautados nos conceitos da enfermagem do trabalho e na subárea de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas com os estudos econômicos. Observou-se que os objetos de estudos relacionados ao trabalho infantil focam seu interesse na relação deste com a saúde, a educação, o trabalho e a assistência social, com pouca interdisciplinaridade nas publicações.


Este estudio analizó las características de la producción científica sobre el trabajo infantil en Latinoamérica desde 2004 hasta 2014. Se encontraron 114 trabajos en las bases de datos LILACS y SciELO. Se categorizaron los artículos a partir de los conceptos de campo y agentes sociales de Pierre Bourdieu, destacando productores, lugares de publicación, objetos y discursos. Se observó un crecimiento de la producción en este período, específicamente a partir de 2006. Brasil ocupó la posición dominante en la producción científica con un 80,7% de la producción, seguido de Colombia, Argentina y México. Los objetos de estudio son mayoritariamente de abordaje cualitativo (55,3%) y la mitad de los artículos están indexados en revistas Qualis B1 o superiores. No obstante, solamente un 14,9% de las investigaciones recibieron financiación. Los productores tienen orígenes diversos, hay psicólogos (26,3%), enfermeros (17,5%) y economistas (13,2%). Los estudios están situados en las subáreas de las Ciencias Humanas, constituidas por los discursos de la Psicología Social y del Desarrollo; Ciencias de la Salud con énfasis en estudios epidemiológicos, según conceptos de enfermería laboral y dentro de la subárea de las Ciencias Sociales Aplicadas con estudios económicos. Se observó que los objetos de estudio relacionados con el trabajo infantil enfocan su interés en la relación de éste último con la salud, la educación, el trabajo y la asistencia social, con poca interdisciplinaridad en las publicaciones.


The current study analyzed the characteristics of research on child labor in Latin America from 2004 to 2014. A total of 114 studies were identified in the LILACS and SciELO databases. The articles were categorized according to the concepts of field and social agents, as in Pierre Bourdieu, highlighting the authors, places of publication, objects, and discourses. An increase was observed in the research output during this period, specifically since 2006. Brazil held a dominant position in the research with 80.7% of the total publications, followed by Colombia, Argentina, and Mexico. The objects of study are mostly qualitative approaches (55.3%), and half of the articles are indexed in Qualis B1 journals or higher. However, only 14.9% of the studies had received funding. The authors have various backgrounds, featuring participation by psychologists (26.3%), nurses (17.5%), and economists (13.2%). The studies are situated in subareas of the Human Sciences, consisting of the discourses of Social and Developmental Psychology; Health Sciences, featuring epidemiological studies, based on concepts from occupational health nursing; and the subarea of Applied Social Sciences with studies in economics. The objects of studies on child labor focus their interest on its relationship to health, education, work, and social assistance, with little interdisciplinarity in the publications.

ABSTRACT

Summary Objective: To evaluate the sponsored centers for clinical trial in the respiratory care setting in Brazil: profile; logistics and structure. Methods: Principal investigators (29) and subinvestigators (30) of 39 research centers completed the questionnaires that addressed personal identification and training of researchers, the centers' facilities and advantages and/or disadvantages of performing sponsored trials. Results: 75.6% of the centers were located in southern and southeastern Brazil. Most principal investigators were men with a mean age of 53.4 years. The clinical trials in the respiratory care setting focus on asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonar disease (COPD). 80% of the researchers cited delay of the Conep and Anvisa as a barrier to performing research. The advantages of participating in clinical trials were updating knowledge of the researcher and the team, and additional income for the team. The main disadvantages mentioned by the researchers included low financial compensation for the performed workload, and time availability. The median number of professionals per research center was six people, predominantly physicians. Conclusion: The number of research centers in the respiratory care setting in Brazil is still relatively small. The teams have good training for performing the clinical trials. Asthma and COPD are the most studied diseases in sponsored clinical trials. The main barrier is delay by the Conep and Anvisa. The factors that lead investigators to participate range from being updated along with the team, to site and staff financial issues; the main disadvantage is the low compensation for the required workload demand.


Resumo Objetivo: avaliar nos centros de pesquisas clínicas patrocinadas na área respiratória no Brasil o perfil, a logística e a estrutura. Método: questionários foram respondidos por pesquisadores principais (29) e subinvestigadores (30) de 39 centros de pesquisa relativos a identificação e formação dos pesquisadores, instalações dos centros e vantagens e desvantagens quanto à participação nas pesquisas patrocinadas. Resultados: setenta e cinco por cento (75,6%) dos centros se localizavam nas regiões Sul e Sudeste do Brasil. A maioria dos investigadores principais eram homens com média de idade de 53,4 anos. As pesquisas na área respiratória se concentravam no estudo da asma e da doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica (DPOC). Oitenta por cento dos pesquisadores citaram a demora na Comissão Nacional de Ética em Pesquisa (Conep) e na Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (Anvisa) como fator de entrave para a realização das pesquisas. As vantagens em participar das pesquisas clínicas foram a atualização própria ou da equipe envolvida, com rendimento adicional para a equipe. A principal desvantagem apontada pelos pesquisadores foi a baixa compensação financeira em relação ao volume de trabalho e disponibilidade de tempo. A mediana de profissionais por centro de pesquisa foi de seis pessoas, com predominância de médicos. Conclusão: o número de centros na área respiratória no Brasil ainda é relativamente pequeno. As equipes apresentam boa formação para a realização das pesquisas. Asma e DPOC são as doenças mais estudadas pelas pesquisas clínicas patrocinadas. O principal entrave é a demora da Conep e da Anvisa. Os fatores que levam os investigadores a participarem variam desde atualização própria/equipe até questões financeiras para a equipe e o centro; a principal desvantagem relatada é a baixa remuneração diante da demanda de trabalho exigida.

ABSTRACT

The growth of the Brazilian economy in recent years has created an atmosphere of optimism in various segments of Brazilian society, with several important international repercussions. In this paper, we analyze in detail how this economic growth is reflected in investments in science and technology made by major academic funding agencies. As a result, we observed a discrepancy in the growth of funding input and the growth of the Brazilian gross domestic product. This fact associated with an increased academic output entails negative consequences for the system. This may be a symptom of an academic community not fully understood by society and vice versa. Finally, we believe that a long-lasting important change in investment policy in science is necessary in order to ensure financial security for the academic system as a whole.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Analisar a evolução recente das competências científicas na área de saúde, o efeito das linhas de fomento na redução dos desequilíbrios científicos regionais e a interação universidade-empresas entre os grupos de pesquisa em saúde no Brasil. MÉTODOS: As informações utilizadas foram provenientes das bases de dados do Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico, referentes aos anos de 2000 a 2010. Foram calculados indicadores relativos à mobilização de recursos, à estruturação de grupos de pesquisa e à realização de esforços para transferência de conhecimentos entre a esfera científica e o setor empresarial. RESULTADOS: Com base no mapa da distribuição regional das competências técnico-científicas na área de saúde, foram identificados possíveis padrões de especialização científica e os padrões de interação entre a comunidade científica e o setor empresarial. Houve relativa desconcentração espacial dos grupos de pesquisa em saúde e seis áreas de conhecimento eram responsáveis por mais de 6% dos grupos de pesquisa em saúde, pela ordem: Medicina, Saúde Coletiva, Odontologia, Medicina Veterinária, Ecologia e Educação Física. Os incentivos representados pelas linhas de fomento no período 2000-2009 contribuíram para reduzir os desequilíbrios científicos regionais, induzindo o aprofundamento de competências pré-existentes ou, alternativamente, estimulando a descentralização espacial dessas competências. CONCLUSÕES: Ainda persiste uma concentração espacial elevada das competências técnico-científicas em saúde e os incentivos de política têm contribuído apenas parcialmente para reduzir esses desequilíbrios.


OBJECTIVE: To examine recent developments in health-related scientific capabilities, the impact of lines of incentives on reducing regional scientific imbalances, and university-industry research collaboration in Brazil. METHODS: Data were obtained from the Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development) databases for the years 2000 to 2010. There were assessed indicators of resource mobilization, research network structuring, and knowledge transfer between science and industry initiatives. RESULTS: Based on the regional distribution map of health-related scientific and technological capabilities there were identified patterns of scientific capabilities and science-industry collaboration. There was relative spatial deconcentration of health research groups and more than 6% of them worked in six areas of knowledge areas: medicine, collective health, dentistry, veterinary medicine, ecology and physical education. Lines of incentives that were adopted from 2000 to 2009 contributed to reducing regional scientific imbalances and improving preexisting capabilities or, alternatively, encouraging spatial decentralization of these capabilities. CONCLUSIONS: Health-related scientific and technological capabilities remain highly spatially concentrated in Brazil and incentive policies have contributed to reduce to some extent these imbalances.

ABSTRACT

In Brazil, chronic noncommunicable diseases (CNCDs) are the leading cause of death and a major contributor to the national disease burden. This article describes CNCD research funded by the Ministry of Health Department of Science and Technology (DECIT) to support the production and dissemination of scientific evidence for the national health system, in accordance with the National Agenda of Priorities in Health Research, and within the context of Brazil's epidemiologic transition. Data were obtained from Ministry of Health database management systems. CNCD-related projects financed by DECIT from 2002 to 2009 were analyzed by research theme (cancer, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, CNCDs in general, and CNCD risk factors) and geographic region. In terms of funding and number of projects, the most-supported research theme was cancer, and the most-supported region was the Southeast. Project type varied widely, ranging from basic scientific studies to highly technological research and development. Results obtained included epidemiologic profiles and surveillance, cost, and quality-of-life data.


En el Brasil, las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles (ECNT) son la principal causa de mortalidad y un factor contribuyente muy importante a la carga de morbilidad nacional. En este artículo se describe la investigación en ECNT financiada por el Departamento de Ciencia y Tecnología del Ministerio de Salud (DECIT) para apoyar la producción y la difusión de información científica destinada al sistema nacional de salud, en conformidad con el Programa Nacional de Prioridades en Investigación de Salud y dentro del contexto de la transición epidemiológica del Brasil. Los datos se obtuvieron a partir de los sistemas de manejo de bases de datos del Ministerio de Salud. Los proyectos relacionados con las ECNT financiados por el DECIT entre el 2002 y el 2009 fueron analizados por tema de investigación (cáncer, obesidad, hipertensión, diabetes, enfermedades cardiovasculares, ECNT en general y factores de riesgo de ECNT) y por región geográfica. En cuanto al financiamiento y el número de proyectos, el tema de investigación más apoyado fue el cáncer, y la región más apoyada fue el sudeste del país. El tipo de proyecto varió ampliamente, e incluyó desde estudios científicos básicos hasta estudios de investigación y desarrollo muy técnicos.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of research promotion activities on overall quality and quantity of research output in a clinical department of a teaching tertiary care hospital. Simple research enhancing strategies including regular journal club, research hour, basic research skills training, hiring of research faculty, research awards, and annual research retreat and research board to increase research production were implemented in the Department of Radiology of a teaching hospital in Pakistan. A total of 77 papers were produced by the Department of Radiology before the intervention, which increased to 92 after the introduction of research initiatives. There was a significant increase in the overall proportion of publications in the international journals after the intervention [p < 0.001] with an increasing trend towards indexed journals [p < 0.001]. The research enhancing interventions had a positive effect on increasing clinical research output by the Department of Radiology. Such interventions can also be replicated in other clinical departments to increase their research productivity

During all academic careers, the researchers published 2.958 journal articles, with a mean of 89 articles per researcher. Of total, 55 percent and 75 percent were indexed at Web of Science and Scopus databases, respectively. The researchers received a total of 19648 citations at the database Web of Science, with a median of 330 citations per researcher (IQ = 198-706). The average number of citations per article was 13.5 citations (SD = 11.6). CONCLUSION: Our study has shown that researchers in the field of cardiology have a relevant scientific production. The knowledge of the profile of researchers in the field of Cardiology will probably enable effective strategies to qualitatively improve the scientific output of Brazilian researchers.

ABSTRACT

O trabalho mapeou a aplicação dos recursos financeiros em pesquisa e desenvolvimento em saúde (P&D/S) pelo Ministério da Saúde no período 2003-2005, conforme a Agenda Nacional de Prioridades de Pesquisa em Saúde (ANPPS), estabelecida em 2004. Utilizaram-se dados procedentes de pesquisa realizada com a finalidade primária de mensurar esses fluxos de investimento no período. Foi computado apenas o financiamento direto e efetivamente pago em pesquisas, excluindo-se dispêndios com salários. As pesquisas foram categorizadas segundo as 24 subagendas da ANPPS por dois pesquisadores independentes, com as discordâncias resolvidas por consenso. Foram aplicados cerca de R$ 409,7 milhões, com uma concentração nas subagendas: doenças transmissíveis, complexo produtivo da saúde, pesquisa clínica, assistência farmacêutica e doenças não-transmissíveis (79 por cento do total). Todas as subagendas receberam algum financiamento no período. O estudo estabelece um marco zero para avaliações do potencial indutor deste instrumento e da aproximação entre os investimentos em P&D/S e as necessidades sanitárias.


This study mapped the application of financing in research and development in health (R&D/H) by the Brazilian Ministry of Health in 2003-2005, according to the National Agenda for Health Research Priorities, created in 2004. The analysis was based on data from a study aimed primarily at measuring these investment flows during the same period. The calculations included only direct financing with actual outlays in research, including payroll expenditures. The studies were categorized according to the 24 sub-agendas of the national priority agenda by two independent researchers, and disagreements were resolved by consensus. Research and development expenditures in health totaled 409.7 million reais, concentrated mainly in the following sub-agendas: transmissible diseases, the health industry complex, clinical research, pharmaceutical care, and non-communicable diseases (79 percent of the total). All 24 sub-agendas received some financing during the period. The study established a baseline for subsequent evaluations of this financing instrument's inductive capacity and the relationship between R&D/H investments and the population's health needs.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS: Describir los subsistemas públicos de los Sistemas Nacionales de Investigación en Salud (SNIS) en cinco países de América Latina (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay y Uruguay), con énfasis en los tipos de arreglos institucionales que se observan en cada país para promover, desarrollar y sostener sus SNIS, así como en los mecanismos explícitos o implícitos de priorización de proyectos de investigación en salud. MÉTODOS: Se identificó a los organismos responsables de manejar los recursos públicos destinados a financiar proyectos de investigación en salud en los cinco países estudiados. Luego se analizaron los tipos de proyectos que fueron financiados -utilizando una matriz por área y objeto de estudio-, ciertas características de los investigadores principales y los montos asignados entre 2002 y 2006. RESULTADOS: Solamente los países con mayores recursos o con redes de investigadores más desarrolladas poseen estructuras formales de asignación de fondos, con convocatorias periódicas y reglas estables, y ninguno cuenta con mecanismos explícitos e integrales de priorización para la investigación en salud. A su vez, las prioridades de investigación en salud presentan diferencias importantes entre países. En este sentido, es notorio que ciertos problemas, como "nutrición y medio ambiente" o "violencia y accidentes", reciban escasa atención en la mayoría de los países, al igual que varios temas de salud pública en algunos otros. Contrariamente, la investigación referida a "ciencias básicas" absorbe hasta un tercio de los recursos totales para investigación. CONCLUSIONES: Surgen numerosos interrogantes acerca de la capacidad de estos países para adaptar y generar nuevos conocimientos, y de la casi inexistente investigación sobre condicionantes sociales, económicos y culturales o sobre servicios y sistemas de salud, de alto impacto en grupos con acceso limitado al cuidado de la salud. Es necesario establecer explícitamente las prioridades en la agenda de investigación en salud, en consenso con las partes interesadas, así como incorporar mecanismos de monitoreo y seguimiento por temas y áreas de estudio del financiamiento de la investigación en este campo.


OBJECTIVES: Describe the public subsystems of the national health research systems (SNIS) in five Latin American countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay), emphasizing the types of institutional arrangements in place in each country to promote, develop, and sustain their SNIS, as well as explicit or implicit mechanisms for prioritizing health research projects. METHODS: The bodies responsible for managing the public resources allocated to finance health research projects in the five countries studied were identified. The types of projects financed were then analyzed-using a matrix constructed by area and object of study-, certain characteristics of the principal investigators, and the sums allocated between 2002 and 2006. RESULTS: Only the countries with greater resources or better developed networks of investigators have formal structures for allocating funds with regular calls for proposals and fixed rules. None of them has explicit comprehensive mechanisms for prioritizing health research. Moreover, the health research priorities in the countries vary widely. In this regard, it is significant that problems such as "nutrition and the environment" or "violence and accidents" receive little attention in most countries. The same holds true for a number of public health issues in some countries. In contrast, the research in the "hard sciences" absorbs up to one-third of the total resources for research. CONCLUSIONS: Many questions arise about the ability of these countries to adapt and generate new knowledge, as well as the nearly nonexistent research on social, economic, and cultural determinants, or on health services and systems that have a high impact on groups with limited access to health care. Explicit priorities should be set with stakeholders for the health research agenda, and mechanisms should be adopted for monitoring and following up health research financing by subject and area of study.

ABSTRACT

Background: In Chile, researchers can apply to public research funds through specific research projects and must compete with other professionals of other disciplines. Aim: To perform a critical assessment of the allocation of public funds for health research in Chile by a public institution called CONICYT. Material and Methods: A database was constructed with health projects financed by CONICYT, between 2002 and 2006. Projects were classified (according to their titles) in three methodological categories and nine topics. Age, gender and region where the main researcher is based, were also recorded. Results: 768 research projects were analyzed. Biomedical, clinical and public health research projects accounted for 66, 24 and 10 percent of allocated funds, respectively. Main researchers were female in 31 percent of projects, their mean age was 52 years and 76 percent worked in the Metropolitan region. Conclusions: These results show that some objectives of the National Research System lead by CONICYT, such as using research as a tool for regional development and allocating funds for conditions with a large burden, are not been met.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o perfil e a produção científica de pesquisadores de Medicina, que têm bolsa de produtividade do Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico, de acordo com a área de atuação. MÉTODOS: Os currículos lattes de 411 pesquisadores com bolsas ativas no triênio 2006 a 2008 foram incluídos na análise. As variáveis de interesse foram: sexo, área de atuação; artigos publicados, e orientação de alunos de graduação, mestres e doutores. RESULTADOS: Houve uma predominância do sexo masculino (68 por cento) e de bolsistas na categoria 2 (55,7 por cento). Quatro Estados da Federação são responsáveis por 90 por cento dos pesquisadores (SP, RJ, RS, MG). Oito instituições são responsáveis por aproximadamente 80 por cento dos pesquisadores, destacando-se USP (30,7 por cento) e UNIFESP (17 por cento). Foram identificadas 30 áreas de atuação dos pesquisadores. Em relação à produção científica, a mediana de artigos publicados foi de 4,13/ano (Intervalo interquartil, IQ, 2,9 - 5,8). A mediana ajustada de artigos publicados na base de dados Web of Science foi de 2,23/ano (IQ, 1,4 - 3,2). Neurociências (3,16, IQ, 1,8 - 4,7) e Psiquiatria (2,92, IQ, 1,73 - 4,5) foram as áreas mais produtivas de artigos indexados. CONCLUSÃO: Há uma concentração dos pesquisadores da Medicina na região Sudeste. Nesse estudo pode ser observado um aumento da produção científica da maioria dos pesquisadores nos últimos cinco anos. Através do conhecimento do perfil dos pesquisadores da área de Medicina, podem ser definidas de maneira mais eficaz, estratégias para incentivar a produção científica e a demanda de recursos para o financiamento de projetos de pesquisa.


OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the profile and scientific production of researchers in Medicine who have a scholarship from the " Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico" . METHODS: The "Lattes" curriculum of 411 researchers in Medicine with active scholarships during the years of 2006 to 2008 were included in the analysis. Variables of interest were: gender; affiliation; scientific production, and supervision of undergraduate masters and doctorate students.. RESULTS: There was a male predominance (68 percent) and of scholarship level 2 (55.7 percent). Four states of Brazil are responsible for 90 percent of the researchers (SP, RJ, RS, and MG). Eight institutions account for about 80 percent of researchers, especially USP (30.7 percent) and UNIFESP (17 percent). The study identified 30 areas of expertise for researchers. In relation to scientific production, the median was 4.13 articles published per year (interquartile range, IQ, 2.9 - 5.8). The median adjusted for articles published in the database Web of Science was 2.23 per year (IQ, 1.4 - 3.2). The most productive areas of indexed articles were the areas of Neurosciences (3.16, IQ, 1.8 - 4.7) and Psychiatry (2.92, IQ, 1.73 - 4.5). CONCLUSION: Researchers in medicine are concentrated in the Southeast. This study has disclosed an increase in scientific output by most researchers in the last five years. Effective strategies to qualitatively improve the scientific output may possibly be enhanced by knowledge of the profile of researchers in Medicine.

ABSTRACT

Programs of Science and Technology research have grown significantly in Brazil over the last decades. Until the 1980s the so-called undirected programs, without specific goals and requiring only scientific merit, prevailed. The few programs with defined goals in this period were never objectively assessed. The same situation occurred in developed countries. In the early 1990s, the assessment of programs supported by public funding became mandatory in US and some European countries. In Brazil, program assessment has so far not been implemented yet. The Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa no Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) (Brazilian funding agency) Young Investigator (YI) Program is in its eleventh year, with approximately eight hundred projects awarded. Although it is free-demand based as concerns areas of knowledge, it has specific goals : (1) conceding grants to YI in view of the balance between funding, merit and real needs so as to enable satisfactory working conditions in the short term, (2) providing priority for institutions with a less 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 evidence for the achievement of first three goals. The fourth one is still pending on additional data requiring survey assessment. Actions in this direction are recommended.


Programas de Ciência e Tecnologia cresceram significativamente no Brasil nas últimas décadas. Até a década de 80 os assim chamados programas não dirigidos, sem metas específicas e requerendo apenas mérito científico prevaleciam. Os poucos programas com metas definidas neste período não foram jamais objetivamente avaliados. A mesma situação ocorria nos países desenvolvidos. No início da década de 90, a avaliação de programas dependentes de recursos públicos tornou-se mandatória nos Estados Unidos e em alguns países europeus. No Brasil a avaliação de programas não foi até agora implementada. O programa de Jovem Pesquisador (JP) da FAPESP está em seu décimo primeiro ano, com a concessão de aproximadamente 800 projetos. Embora não seja dirigido em termos de áreas específicas de conhecimento, ele tem metas específicas: (1) conceder auxílios a JP tendo em vista um balanço entre fundos, mérito e reais necessidades para permitir condições satisfatórias de trabalho dentro de um curto período, (2) conceder prioridade à instituições menos consolidadas em pesquisa, (3) conceder bolsa especial a JP sem vínculo empregatício à instituição e (4) introduzir novas frentes de pesquisa em centros cientificamente bem consolidados. A presente avaliação forneceu evidências de que as três primeiras metas foram alcançadas.A quarta está ainda pendente de dados adicionais que requerem avaliação por enquete. São sugeridas ações nesta direção.

ABSTRACT

Background: Financial relationships between the industry and researchers have raised concerns about the existence of conflicts of interest that could influence the scientific validity of the studies. Aim: To determine the financial sources of research articles published in the Revista Médica de Chile during a five-year period. Material and Methods: Retrospective analysis of all articles classified as ôresearch articlesõ, published in this journal between years 2001-2005, identifying the funding source and the existence of a declaration of conflicts of interest by the authors. Results: Two hundred seventeen out of 519 research articles published in the period (42 percent) had an explicit financial source disclosed. Of these, 28 percent were funded by internal sources, 36 percent by Fondo Nacional de Desarrollo Científico y Tecnológico and 36 percent by other sources. Twenty-six studies (5 percent) received funding from the industry. In only five of these, the authors explicity declared the absence of conflict of interest. Among the studies that did not disclose any financial source, one third required some funding to be carried out. Conclusions: Forty two percent of research articles published in the last five years did not specify the financial source. Those that did specify a funding source were mainly supported by non-profit agencies including university centers and governmental funds. This is in contrast with international reports that evidence an important financial support from the industry. Only a minority of the authors sponsored by the industry declared absence of conflict of interest.

ABSTRACT

Background: Molecular biology is a new branch of biological sciences, with novel laboratory techniques that are being progressively applied into biomedical and clinical research and, furthermore, into medical practice. Aims: To evaluate the use of molecular biology techniques in Chilean biomedical and clinical research and its evolution in the recent decade. Methods: All papers published as research articles, clinical experiences or case reports, in Revista MÄdica de Chile, during two time periods: 1987-1989 and 1997-1999, were reviewed to find out whether molecular biology techniques had been used or not. This journal publishes roughly 40 percent of papers generated in Chile, in biomedical or clinical topics, while another 15 percent appears in foreign journals. Results: Among 341 papers published in 1987-1989, 57 (16.7 percent) had used one or more molecular biology techniques; in contrast, among 318 papers published in 1997-1999, 91 (28.8 percent) had used them (p<0.001). Most papers using molecular biology techniques were research articles. Immunology, genetics, endocrinology, hematology, hepatology and rheumatology were the specialties providing a greater number and proportion of papers using molecular biology techniques. Chilean universities were the main institutions sponsoring these articles and FONDECYT (the Chilean Government Research Granting Office) was the main source of funding. The University of Chile (State-owned) provided most centers where these publications had been generated, followed by the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. Conclusions: Molecular biology techniques have been rapidly and progressively incorporated as research tools in biomedicine and clinical medicine, in Chile. At the present time, these techniques are predominantly used in research conducted in University settings and funded by Governmental research grants
