RESUMO:

The public university is responsible for a considerable portion of the scientific research carried out in
our country, whether forming researchers or directly providing the necessary structure for the
production of knowledge and technology, an indispensable factor for the social development of a
nation. In this context, universities need to establish a policy of financing research that allows the
distribution of resources available to meet the demands of researchers, following consistent guidelines
with the social purposes of the institutions. Through a bibliographical and documentary research, the
present work had the objective of presenting a fair distribution model of public resources for the
financing of scientific research at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), based on the
principles of fairness presented by John Rawls in the book A Theory of Justice. For this, at first, the
theory elaborated by John Rawls was analyzed. Then, an overview of the historical evolution of the
contribution of science for the progress of society was traced, from the emergence of the technique in
prehistory to the level of scientific and technological development that we experience today, with
important participation of the knowledge produced and disseminated in the universities environment.
Emphasis was given to the importance of public funding to researching. Furthermore, the
contemporary challenges related to distribution of these resources into the public universities were
identified. Lastly, the possible contributions of the theory of justice as fairness for the distribution of
public resources destined to the fomentation of scientific research were analyzed, concluding with the
suggestion of guiding principles for a policy of financing research at UFRN.
