Abstract
The study analyses scientific knowledge circulation between Brazil and the United States, drawing on Rockefeller Foundation's funding to Escola Paulista de Medicina to modernize medical training. The chosen initial chronological landmark is 1956, when the foundation started funding the Brazilian institution, and the final year is 1962, deadline for spending the grants. The study's sources are dossiers collected at Rockefeller Archive Center, analyzed drawing on the evidential paradigm. The conclusion is that when the philanthropic agency decided to finance the school, the latter was already part of an international network of knowledge circulation, and its medical training modernization comprised investments in basic sciences, clinical practice, and the defense of full-time departments.
该研究分析了巴西和美国之间的科学知识流通,利用了洛克菲勒基金会对Escola Paulista de Medicina的资助,以实现医学培训的现代化。最初选择的时间点是1956年,当时基金会开始资助巴西机构,最后一年是1962年,也就是使用赠款的截止日期。该研究的来源是洛克菲勒档案中心收集的档案,并根据证据范式进行了分析。结论是,当慈善机构决定资助学校时,后者已经是国际知识流通网络的一部分,其医学培训现代化包括对基础科学、临床实践和全日制部门的投资。
