REGO, Débora Lopes do  and  SOUSA JUNIOR, Luiz de. Application of PROAP resources at UFPB: a study case. J. Pol. Educ-s [online]. 2019, vol.13, e62468.  Epub July 18, 2022. ISSN 1981-1969.  https://doi.org/10.5380/jpe.v13i0.62468.

The main objective of this work is to analyze the PROAP (Postgraduate Support Program) management resources at UFPB in 2014. Major challenges and goals were established for the Brazilian Postgraduation by the National Postgraduate Plan - PNPG (2011-2020) and there is a relative consensus about the need to expand the investment. However, the resources of PROAP sent to UFPB were not used in their entirety in the year 2014. Therefore, it is questioned how the management of these resources was managed by the Management Units responsible for the resource’s application. Although they are considered small in relation to the total budget of the UFPB, they are essential for the full development of Postgraduate Studies. Hence the relevance of studying the management of such resources. Based on primary data obtained from the Tesouro Gerencial, CAPES and UFPB, it was found that the managerial change of PROAP resources in the middle of the financial year 2014, without any study or planning, was the fundamental cause for the expressive return of such resources, confirming the hypothesis raised initially.
