Abstract:
Evaluation of research projects by the Spanish Agency of Evaluation and
Prospective. This paper describes the procedure used by the Spanish Agency
of Evaluation and Prospective (ANEP) to evaluate research projects. The
problems involved in the peer review system used by the ANEP are analysed,
and the following parameters used in the evaluation process, and the weights
assigned to them, are discussed: experience of the research team, relevance
of the objectives, viability of the proposal, coordination between research
groups, dissemination of results, budget suitability, research group
training capability, assignment of technicians, final report, and final
evaluation of the research project. Recent descriptive data from the Spanish
Ministry of Science and Technology, in the research areas of Psychology and
Education, are presented, providing an overview of cur-rent Spanish research
in psychology and education. Results show that psychology research projects
receive more favourable evaluations than projects in education. Results are
disaggregated by sex, university, autonomous region, specific academic
field, and other variables of interest. Finally, some tentative conclusions
are drawn and future perspectives are discussed.
