Evaluation at Fonds FCAR: discoveries and questions

Lucie Girard

Research Evaluation, 1993, vol. 3, issue 3, 167-172

Abstract: Two years ago Fonds FCAR instated a two-prong evaluation system: a horizontal evaluation of its program conducted by staff, and an individual program evaluation undertaken by a consultant firm. The strategic choices of the agency are taken into account grouped according to five trends: maintenance of a broad equilibrium (by sector and forms of research); organisation of the research community to reach critical masses; support of new scientists in universities; the enhancement of research training; and the support of excellence. The evaluation assesses the relevance of the chosen objectives, the efficacy of the programs and their impact on the research system, and the efficiency of the chosen means. It is now time to question the appropriateness of this method. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
