MCTI and CNPq launch calls for research projects and grants worth R$590 million – Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation

The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI) and the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) on Wednesday (21) launched two of the most traditional public calls for research. The Public Advocacy, targeting projects by emerging and consolidated groups in any field of knowledge, and the Advocacy for Research Productivity and Productivity in Postgraduate Research Scholarships, the highest grants of CNPq, will receive a total of R$600 million from the CNPq budget.

The Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Luciana Santos, assessed that by covering different fields of knowledge, the global appeal has a wide reach and is a catalyst for new research groups. The Research Productivity and Productivity in Postgraduate Research Scholarships call is aimed at established researchers and encourages not only high-quality production but also the training of new researchers.

“This investment reflects our government’s commitment to Brazilian researchers, science and the future of Brazil,” said the minister. He added, “The calls are essential to stimulate scientific development that allows knowledge to be transformed into wealth for the country and the quality of life for the population.”

Ricardo Galvao, Chair of CNPq, reinforced the importance of calls to support young researchers from emerging cohorts to researchers with a standardized profession. In addition, he noted, the large volume of resources confirms the federal government’s commitment to Brazilian science.

Global Appeal – CNPq/MCTI Call No. 10/2023 It aims to support research projects in any field of knowledge. The call will allocate R$300 million from two investment scopes:

Scope A – Emerging Groups: Intended for research teams that include, among their members, at least three physicians, one of whom is the project coordinator.
