Resumen
Foundations support constitute one of the types of legal entities of private law forged with
the purpose of supporting research projects, education and extension and institutional,
scientific and technological development of Brazil. Observed as links of the relationship
between company, university, and government, foundations supporting emerge in the
Brazilian scene from the principle to establish an economic platform of development
based on three pillars: science, technology and innovation – ST&I. In applied terms, these
ones operate as tools of debureaucratisation making the management between public
entities more agile, especially in the academic management in accordance with the
approach of Triple Helix. From the exposed, the present study has as purpose
understanding how the relation of Triple Helix intervenes in the fund-raising process of
Brazilian foundations support. To understand the relations submitted, it was used the
interaction models University-Company-Government recommended by Sábato and
Botana (1968), the approach of the Triple Helix proposed by Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff
(2000), as well as the perspective of the national innovation systems discussed by
Freeman (1987, 1995), Nelson (1990, 1993) and Lundvall (1992). The research object of
this study consists of 26 state foundations that support research associated with the
National Council of the State Foundations of Supporting Research - CONFAP, as well as
the 102 foundations in support of IES associated with the National Council of
Foundations of Support for Institutions of Higher Education and Scientific and
Technological Research – CONFIES, totaling 128 entities. As a research strategy, this
study is considered as an applied research with a quantitative approach. Primary research
data were collected using the e-mail Survey procedure. Seventy-five observations were
collected, which corresponds to 58.59% of the research universe. It is considering the use
of the bootstrap method in order to validate the use of the sample in the analysis of results.
For data analysis, it was used descriptive statistics and multivariate data analysis
techniques: the cluster analysis; the canonical correlation and the binary logistic
regression. From the obtained canonical roots, the results indicated that the dependency
relationship between the variables of relations (with the actors of the Triple Helix) and
the financial resources invested in innovation projects is low, assuming the null
hypothesis of this study, that the relations of the Triple Helix do not have interfered
positively or negatively in raising funds for investments in innovation projects. On the
other hand, the results obtained with the cluster analysis indicate that entities which have
greater quantitative and financial amounts of projects are mostly large foundations (over
100 employees), which support up to five IES, publish management reports and use in
their capital structure, greater financing of the public department. Finally, it is pertinent
to note that the power of the classification of the logistic model obtained in this study
showed high predictive capacity (80.0%) providing to the academic community
replication in environments of similar analysis.
