This paper article examines, from a methodological point of view, the sources that provide or can provide pertinent information for the evaluation of the results and impacts of the fellowship programs for the education and training of scientists and engineers in Ibero America. First of all, it identifies and characterizes three types of sources usually produced by the institutions responsible for the fellowship programs and/or that are generated by different institutions: the forms and/or evaluation reports of ex-fellows and/or their supervisors at the receptor R&D centers; the statistical information relative to postgraduates and S&T human resources; and the various international, regional and/or national existent databases of scientific publications and patents. Secondly, it describes three types of information sources that would be pertinent and advisable to develop, consolidate or analytically exploit in the region: the surveys on academic and professional trajectories, future work expectations and opinions of ex-fellows and/or their supervisors; individual in depth interviews and/or group discussions with various social actors that became indirect beneficiaries of the given aids, as well as the managers of the fellowship programs; and the standardized databases of the curriculum vitae (CVs) of postgraduates and S&T human resources.
