Abstract

This article had the purpose of presenting and analyzing the perceptions, criticisms and suggestions of the consultants who participated of the evaluation processes of the National Program of Academic Cooperation (PROCAD), considering both the submission of proposals and the mid-term evaluation of ongoing projects in an effort to contribute to the improvement of the program. The qualitative and quantitative research was carried out through consultation by email, sent to members of the Evaluation Committee of PROCAD projects. The questionnaire consisted of 15 items of a qualitative nature, covering 13 closed and two open questions relating to the aims and characteristics of the program. Based on this study, it can be understood that the institutionalization of a system of ongoing evaluation for PROCAD could contribute to the improvement of the program and to the creation of new initiatives aimed at developing graduate study. The implementation of the measures suggested here would also provide for the improvement to PROCAD.
