Bolsas De Produtividade Em Pesquisa: Educação Física, Fisioterapia, Fonoaudiologia E Terapia Ocupacional

Abstract

The fellowships for research productivity (PQ) distributed annually by the National Council of Scientific and Technological Development (Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico -CNPq) generate, historically, a series of concerns in the scientific community. With the objective of enlightening this community in relation to the criteria adopted by the Multidisciplinary Advisory Committee (AC) in Health for the granting of PQ funds, we decided to produce this text.An essential point is to emphasize that the PQ fellowship of these AC are primarily distributed for researchers with initial training in the areas of the committee and institutional bounds to the units, departments and graduate programs in the areas. Guidance activities in programs not yet certified by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Ensino Superior -CAPES) are disregarded, as well as the scientific productions not related to the areas of the committee.It should be noted that there are minimum criteria to join each level, publicly available in the CNPq website. It is noteworthy that we keep receiving numerous requests which do not meet these minimum criteria, including from undergraduate and graduate students.A diagnosis of the AC situation is necessary. Physical Education currently has 85 existing fellowships, Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy have 65 fellowships and Speech Language Pathology and Audiology have 51 PQ fellowships. The fellowships for Physical Education are distributed into eight states of the Federation, considering 40% are allocated to teachers in the state of São Paulo. The fellowships for Physical and Occupational Therapy are allocated to researchers from seven states, considering that 63% of scholars work in the state of São Paulo. In Speech Language Pathology and Audiology, the fellowships are concentrated in six states, considering that 71% of them are allocated to researchers affiliated to São Paulo institutions.From the total of AC fellowships, 62.5% are level 2, 18.5% of them are 1D, 5.5% are 1C, 8.5% are level 1B and 5.0% of them are level 1A. These percentages are in disagreement with the CNPq regulations, which suggest 10% of fellowships in levels 1A and 1B and 50% in level 2. The AC drafted documents to the board of CNPq requesting the review of this scenario, with an increase in quotas 1, especially in levels 1A and 1C. It is also noteworthy that in the last three trials, there was no allocation of new quotas for our AC. The matter was approached in a recent document sent to the board of CNPq.From now on, we will present some information on the trial for PQ fellowships in 2015. The most complex evaluation task was to define the indicators to be included in the calculation algorithm, with their respective weights. The AC chose to use five indicators, with the following weights: scientific production in the evaluated period (35%), guidance (25%), the H index of the Institute for Scientic Information -ISI (20%), average...

Perfil de investigadores en el área de salud pública en Brasil

“…Tal división es importante para comprender el papel de la investigación en Salud Pública en Brasil actual. Al comparar los 238 investigadores en el estudio con otras áreas, el área de Enfermería tiene 186 investigadores con becas de productividad (9), Educación Física, con 92 (10), Odontología, con 209 (11), Fisioterapia y Terapia Ocupacional, con 65 (12), Fonoaudiología con 51 (12 )y Medicina con 529 (13). Dados estos datos, existe una dimensión de la gran relevancia de la investigación en Salud Pública, ya que el número absoluto de becas de productividad es alto, solo por detrás de la Medicina.…”

“…A prevalência dos bolsistas na Categoria 2 foi ao encontro dos resultados de outros estudos similares a este, cujos objetivos eram identificar o perfil dos pesquisadores nas demais áreas da "Ciências da Saúde" (9,10,11,12,13), demonstrando que a maioria dos pesquisadores se concentram no primeiro nível de Bolsa de Produtividade em pesquisa (nível 2), por meio da qual se efetiva o ingresso no sistema.…”

“…Eso se atribuye al predominio de los cursos de graduación en Odontología que se evalúan mejor en la metrópoli, a la presencia de instituciones de referencia en el país y a la existencia de estrategias para promover la investigación en el estado (11). de la misma manera, varios artículos describen relaciones causales similares, asociando el mayor número de becas a una infraestructura de investigación más consistente y a la realización de más inversiones (12).…”
