This paper aims to provide information for assessing the performance of R&D project portfolios of the Bioenergy Research Program (BIOEN) of São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP). The projects evaluation is developed using methodologies for support on multiple-criteria decision processes. In this research, it was performed the construction, adaptation, and validation of methods evaluation, for which one of the challenges was to incorporate progress processes in multi-criteria analysis, which was used for the ordination of projects and their composition in project portfolios.
