PEINADO CAMACHO, José de Jesús. The economic resources for research and its impact on graduate students. RIDE. Rev. Iberoam. Investig. Desarro. Educ [online]. 2021, vol.11, n.22, e03.  Epub May 21, 2021. ISSN 2007-7467.  https://doi.org/10.23913/ride.v11i22.823.

The objective of this research work was to show quantitative data on research resources and their impact on postgraduate students at the Center for Research and Technological Innovation of the National Polytechnic Institute. The question that guided this study was: What is the relationship between research resources and their impact on graduate students? The research design was non-experimental, the methodology used was quantitative, and the study approach was exploratory and descriptive. The case study was used as the research technique. The results of the investigation revealed that the number of internally funded research projects decreased from 14 in 2015 to 13 in 2016 and 11 in 2017, but in 2018 it increased to 16. It was evidenced that the amount of economic resources is not directly proportional to the number of research projects, since in 2018 it increased by five compared to the previous year and the amount of resources did not increase substantially. The number of students participating in research projects was decreasing, the data indicated that 51.6% of the master's and doctoral students participated in 2015, 48.3% in 2016, 38.5% in 2017 and 37.5% in 2018. This trend was not proportional with the number of projects. The research products that were found related to the projects and to graduate students were theses and publications. The first ones had an open impact on students, research professors and postgraduate students. The second ones came out in the doctoral students, because it was a requirement to graduate. It is concluded that the realization of research projects is related to the amount of economic resources and is an inherent element in the existence of the postgraduate program. The theses and the publications derived from them are tangible evidence of their magnitude, in addition to favoring the training of students in research. Studying and measuring these elements allows describing their composition, knowing their interaction and reflecting on their intrinsic purposes to optimize their understanding.
