A Regulação Estatal dos Investimentos em Pesquisa no Ensino Superior Brasileiro

Micro data from 2010 graduate education census of the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research (Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais - INEP) are used to investigate how the Brazilian state and academic groups regulate research investment in the country. Data from graduate education institutions ́ research investments and their categories were crosschecked. We also analyzed the criteria used by the Brazilian Federal Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education (Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal do Ensino Superior - CAPES) to allow graduate education institutions access to CAPES database. The categories are relevant as they indicate whether the institutions are public or private. They also indicate to what extent the institutions have been given autonomy by the state, by virtue of their being faculties, university centers or universities. The meaning of these divisions will be presented in the analysis of law which regulate graduate education in Brazil. We conclude that the restrictions on institutional autonomy imposed by the State to more than 80% of graduate education institutions in the country do not prevent them from investing in research. However, these investments lack clear institutional parameters, and they are encouraged by the academic agencies that coordinate graduate education in Brazil, which endorse a research university model for the entire system
