Resumen

CASADO HERNANDEZ, Imilla; FALCON ALMEIDA, Yadira  y  MACIAS LLANES, María Elena. Research management at the Center of Immunology and Biological Products within the university context. A case study. Rev Hum Med [online]. 2009, vol.9, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1727-8120.

Today society development is determined by an increasing capacity for knowledge production and application. Despite participating in social dynamics, higher educational centers have contributed poorly to the repercussion of research results on the quality of life, especially in Latin America. This paper deals with the assessment of research relations at the Center of Immunology and Biological Products within the context of the Medical University of Camagüey. We carried out a retrospective descriptive study, using the methods of theoretical and empiric knowledge. The characterization of the center’s research process showed unconnected and dependent working style, and an unfavorable work environment. In addition, the center failed to be among the strengths of the Vice-Rector’s Office of Investigations. In a general sense, the Medical University of Camagüey showed a reductionistic scientific culture and little social commitment caused by a lack of vision as well as of knowledge of the specific activities of science and technique. As research management has been considered an essential element for establishing general contexts to integrate research processes with the most inclusive purposes of higher educational centers, we recommend designing a strategy to involve the center in the university’s research activity.
