Abstract

The following paper is a descriptive and retrospective study that analyses the basic elements of a methodological design in projects approved by Fondecyt (one of the most important research funding agencies in Chile) in 1992 and 1999 considering the disciplines of anthropology and sociology. The analyses used four steps to create a methodological design. First, the projects selected were classified as qualitative or quantitative, according to the definition given by the own authors and looked for the arguments used by the authors for using the selected methodology. Then a detailed analysis is done on how these selected projects describe and elaborate a methodological strategy, reviling or not their stringency and precision of the methodological proposals.

Key word: fondecyt, methodological design, sociology, anthropology, coherence, stringency.
