In Brazil, most scientific studies are conducted by Public Universities and made possible thanks to administrative support from Support Foundations, which allows researchers to deal exclusively with the technical matters of scientific and technological research. We sought to retrieve and characterize the variables that most influence performance and success in project management in Support Foundations, in order to identify, analyze, and provide more in-depth knowledge about the CSF (Critical Success Factors), besides the real performance needs in project management, employing ISO 21500 as the parameter to be measured in the Foundations. We surveyed 63 project managers in Support Foundations. We employed SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) for statistical data analysis, and then used the mean values of each variable to establish its ranking. The main action focus takes place in the planning process groups, with the variables "Develop budget" at "Importance level" and "Develop project plans" at "Application level" representing the key activities for a good performance in project management. Regarding CFS, the most important factor pointed out by the managers was "Project planning". Therefore, the results show that managers have strong planning actions, thus holding a high level of control in project management and execution activities. We conclude that project management activities and the technical aspects related to the projects greatly influence the success of projects in the studied Foundations.
