Annual Action Programs (PAA)

The Annual Action Programs (PAA) are the operational planning tool that collects all the budgetary resources and the timetables provided for the financing of R+D+I in Spain.

Each year, an action programme is drawn up that integrates all the aid provided by the different R&D&I agents within the General Administration of the State, in order to achieve the objectives defined in the current State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation (PEICTI). These specific programs are developed by the funding agents attached to the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and the units of the sectoral ministries involved.

  • It is the Evaluation Plan of the MICIU, so it incorporates the evaluation activity that is carried out in the bodies and agencies financing R+D+I dependent on the Ministry, which evaluate the programs (or actions) they finance. The funding bodies are the State Research Agency (AEI), the Center for Technological Development and Innovation (CDTI), the Carlos III Health Institute (ISCIII) and the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT).
