| Sumario: | Introduction: Currently, science and technology for innovation have gained greater relevance, more investments, studies to deepen knowledge about funding for science are essential. Objective: This article aims to analyze the direction of research funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology between the years 2018 and 2021, identifying the distribution of scholarships for the area of Educational Sciences, comparing the Scientific Domains and Scientific Areas designated by the foundation. The guiding research question is: Does the way in which FCT distributes its PhD grants make an equitable process of science production unfeasible between the Scientific Domains and Scientific Areas of Knowledge? The article analyzes the issue of financing science, focusing on Education Science and the dispute over its production and appropriation by Scientific Domains and Areas of Knowledge. Methodology: This is a documentary research based on data collected from the FCT website, with a quantitative approach, analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: The data showed that the Scientific Domain that receives the largest amount of scholarships is Exact Sciences and Engineering and the Education Sciences Area, compared to the other areas, is in 19th position of the 36 areas that receive scholarships. There are significant differences in the distribution of grants between the Domains and Scientific Areas. Conclusion: Supported by the literature that investigates the area, it is considered that the financing follows a logic of pre-defined agendas, that is, the investment in instrumental knowledge is more important because it benefits the issues of the economic market. |
