Abstract

Introduction: The modalities of nacional and decentralized development are the main instruments used by the Ministry of Health to finance health researchs. Between 2004 and 2008, the Ministry of Health issued national and state edicts and financed 278 food and nutrition researches with a global value of R $ 14.5 million. For the National Food and Nutrition Policy (PNAN), the promotion of research represents an important component for its monitoring and evaluation.
Objective: Analyze the perception of the researchers contemplated by the Health Ministry in the period 2004‑2008, regarding the methods of fostering research in health and its contribution to the improvement of the National Food and Nutrition Policy.
Methods: This is an analytical study, applying through an online semistructured quiz guided about the funding modalities managed by Department of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Health.
Results: It was observed that there is a concern of researchers regarding the prioritization of resources for the North, Northeast and Midwest regions, increasing the volume of resources and improving the governance in the research funds. The promotion modality has been identified as the most suitable for research funding in the area. Ten priority topics for funding announcements from the Ministry of Health were indicated.
Conclusion: The modalities of nacional and decentralized were important to meet national and regional priorities, because they prioritize important issues for public health, provide subsidies to overcome problems and define new lines of research to be developed.
