Guidelines for preparing a Research Project (Post-Doctorate in Management)
1. Identification
- Name of the fellow: identification of the postdoctoral fellow.
- Supervisor's name: coordinator or researcher responsible for the Center, or a member of the Center's scientific team. May be one of the Center's principal investigators.
- Project title: clear, objective and related to the research topic.
2. Introduction
- Contextualize the research topic.
- Highlight the scientific relevance and justification of the study.
- Explain how the project contributes to the area and the objectives of the Program to Support the Management of Large Thematic Research Centers.
3. Objectives
- General objective: the central purpose of the project.
- Specific objectives: detailed steps and goals to be achieved.
4. Methodology
- Describe the strategies, methods and techniques to be used.
- Justify your choice of approach and how it meets your objectives.
- Detail how data is collected, analyzed, and interpreted.
5. Schedule
- Organize the project stages throughout the grant period (initially 2 years, extendable for another 2, depending on the approval of the report for the initial 2 years).
- Indicate partial deliveries, milestones, and activities in each phase.
6. Expected Results
- List the expected outputs, impacts, and contributions.
- Specify scientific, social, technological or innovation results.
- Relate the results to strengthening the management and performance of the Large Thematic Research Centers or Multi-User Equipment Centers.
7. Bibliographic Review
- Present the theoretical references that support the proposal.
- Include research already conducted and gaps that justify investigation.
8. Modalities
- Executive Project Management: Research focused on the study of models and practices for managing research projects, considering planning, organization, monitoring and evaluation in different institutional contexts..
- Education Management and Knowledge Dissemination: Research dedicated to the analysis of scientific education management and knowledge dissemination strategies, including how research centers structure training, qualification and knowledge dissemination actions.
- Technology Transfer and Innovation Management: Research that investigates technology transfer and innovation management processes and arrangements, examining how scientific knowledge can be transformed into applicable solutions and social, economic or productive impact.
9. Reports (partial or final)
There is no standardized model, but it is recommended to include:
- Proposed objectives versus results achieved.
- Activities developed (with schedule).
- Scientific academic productions (articles, reports, presentations) during the scholarship period.
- Institutional partnerships and collaborations.
- Challenges faced.
- Future prospects or developments.
It must be written in clear, objective, technical language. – Send Report.
