Abstract

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have a cycle of public notices focusing on the selection of Research and Development (R&D) proposals. In general, these calls for proposals provide resources in the form of grants paid to students, as well as funding for the purchase of permanent and/or consumable materials for the development of the project. The limited resources available make it necessary to establish criteria to prioritize a given project for funding. This study presents a model for prioritizing R&D proposals for funding. To achieve this, firstly the objectives of the call for proposals are identified and structured using the Value-Focused Thinking (VFT) approach. Secondly, the proposals are compared pair by pair by the decision-makers using the multi-criteria decision support method Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The study resulted in a prioritization framework that makes it possible to identify objectives based on stakeholder values and, based on these, to establish clearer criteria for judging the proposals
