Programa de Pós-Graduação – Strictu Sensu – Universidade Federal Fluminense – UFF

Financing

The Graduate Program is funded by international (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Coimbra Group), national (CAPES, CNPq, FINEP), state (FAPERJ), and local (Proppi/UFF; PROAS/UFF and Niterói City Hall) research funding agencies. Our professors usually apply for public notices at these institutions to finance their research projects and to obtain several types of scholarships, such as master’s, doctorate, post-doctorate, sandwich doctorate, scientific initiation, and technical support scholarships.

Below, we list the grant opportunities that our teachers have been successful in obtaining resources for.

Office of the Vice President for Research, Graduate Studies, and Innovation – PROPPI/UFF Publication Aid; FOPESQ; PIBIC (Institutional Program of Scientific Initiation Scholarships); PIBIC Post-doc; PIBIC High School; PIBICIT.

Brazilian Council for Scientific and Technological Development – CNPQ

Every year, CNPq opens calls for proposals to grant funding for research projects, as well as for granting scholarships. Among the various available Notices, we have the Universal Notice, which covers several areas of knowledge. As for scholarships, we have annual or even biannual notices for the awarding of Research Productivity Scholarships and Post-doctoral Scholarships for Young People and Seniors in Brazil and Abroad. Also, for sandwich doctoral scholarships.

Study and Project Financing Agency– FINEP The Study and Project Financing Agency (FINEP) is a Brazilian public company that promotes science, technology and innovation in companies, universities, technological institutes and other public or private institutions. It is a company linked to the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation. FINEP is an organization whose objective is to financially support technology development, innovation, and R&D projects. It has a wide range of reimbursable financing lines (ordinary loans with interest subsidized by the government), as well as non-reimbursable financing programs, whose technical name is subsidy. In recent years, our teachers have participated or even coordinated projects in different available Notices. Among which we highlight the approval of the subproject “LabCV-UFF – Expansion and development of multi-user laboratory infrastructure in the area of Life Sciences” in the Research Infrastructure Notice – PROINFRA 2023.
