“…For Gray (2008) and Boardman and Gray (2010) these centers enable the management of large research projects, characterized by multidisciplinarity and complexity. Authors such as Boardman and Bozeman (2007), Boardman and Gray (2010) and Nishimura et al (2018) corroborate with this viewpoint. There are many existing research centers in the world, and, in general, they are linked to major universities (Grad School Hub, 2018).…”

PurposeThe article aims to critically analyze the project management developed by research laboratories of a Brazilian university in order to enhance their performance. For this, a critical analysis was performed to identify existing opportunities about the management of schedules and resources. Additionally, a software was developed to enable performance improvement.Design/methodology/approachThe methodological procedures used were literature review, for a theoretical foundation, and case study conducted with semi-structured interviews, documentary research and on-site visits. Through a detailed critical analysis of the laboratories' management, it was possible to understand the activities developed and map the main difficulties observed.FindingsA total of five plausible points of improvement were identified, namely reduced teams and accumulation of activities; team seasonality; centralized management; deviations from projects and schedule control. Based on the theoretical foundation, it has been proposed adjustments to minimize the mentioned difficulties that can greatly contribute for better management efficiency of multiple research projects. In addition, a software was structured based on the proposed improvements. The laboratories' performance was monitored for a month and significant improvements were observed.Practical implicationsThe information presented here may be of great value to other researchers interested in enhancing research laboratory performance.Originality/valueThe academic literature presents several examples of project management guidelines application in different organizations; however, there are few studies about the application of them in research laboratories and how to improve their performance.

“…Apesar das crescentes demandas para avaliar o desempenho de CPUs, existem poucos quadros e métodos teóricos para fazê-lo. A eficácia de um centro bem-sucedido depende, até certo ponto, da avaliação do progresso de seus programas em andamento, a fim de capturar as suas realizações (Lee, Kim & Cha, 2014;Nishimura, Nishimura, Goebert, Onoye & Sugimoto-Matsuda, 2018), assim como da intensidade de participação dos pesquisadores (Kassab, Mutz & Daniel, 2019) e gestores (Gray, 2008).…”

Resumo As possibilidades de estreitamento das relações entre universidades e empresas por meio dos Centros de Pesquisa Universitária têm gerado oportunidades de desenvolvimento de conhecimento e avanço tecnológico entre outras vantagens. Entender as relações existentes entre estes atores, certamente, produzirá melhorias no desenvolvimento tecnológico e social que permeiam esse ambiente. Este artigo visa compreender como se caracteriza o ambiente colaborativo formado por CPUs, Universidades e Empresas. Como estratégia de pesquisa, optou-se pela revisão sistemática da literatura que, a partir das buscas nas bases Scopus e Web of Science, resultou em 63 artigos que compuseram a amostra final. Como resultado, descreve as características de CPUs, motivações dos atores para se estabelecer relacionamentos, principais modalidades e formas de colaboração, medição de resultados da colaboração, performance dos CPUs, assim como transferências de conhecimento e tecnologia entre os colaboradores. A pesquisa também revela que a teoria do capital humano, a visão baseada em recursos, a teoria institucional e a lógica institucional são as principais lentes teóricas utilizadas nos estudos analisados. Por fim, apresenta-se um framework que integra os elementos discutidos.
