This article presents the adaptation of the matrix and indicators for measuring the return on investment in health research, for the evaluation of a research induction program, within 16 doctoral courses of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, one of the actions of the Brasil Sem Miséria Plan. The Canadian matrix proved to be adequate for evaluating the results of the program, due to attributes such as flexibility, breadth and depth, including quantitative and qualitative approaches. For adaptation, the five evaluative dimensions were considered, as well as their indicators and metrics, criteria such as validity, relevance, availability, cost and time of data collection, guided the adaptation to the Brazilian context and the object of study. As a result, the adapted matrix, the indicators, as well as the data collection source and data analysis method are presented. The relevance of this study is highlighted as a contribution to the growing academic and civil society demand for evaluating the investment of public resources in research.
