Factor-related to Managerial Competencies in Research Groups	Constitutive definition
MC1 - people and research results management	Set of managerial competencies essential to managing teams that interact in order to achieve results from research activities and projects of the group.
MC2 - fundraising and people acquisition	Set of managerial competencies that aim at the supply of resources, acquisition of researchers and cooperation of specialists who may contribute to research activities and projects in the group.

Factor	Constitutive definition
R1 - distal results of external repercussion	It is the grouping of indirect results from research activities and projects. They have a remote and peripheral character; they complement, impact or derive from proximal and tangible results initially reached by the group.
R2 - proximal research results	It is the grouping of direct results from research activities and projects. They have immediate connections with knowledge production and contribute to the achievement of further distal results.
R3 - tangible research results	It is the grouping of concrete results from research activities and projects. They have a tangible and material character and are usually related to scientific findings and innovations, new technologies or new methods and contribute to the achievement of further distal results.
