CAPES
The Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Capes), founding of the Ministry of Education (MEC), plays a fundamental role in the expansion and consolidation of stricto sensu (master’s and doctoral) postgraduate courses in all states of the Federation.
In 2007, it also started to train basic education teachers, expanding the reach of their actions in the training of qualified personnel in Brazil and abroad.
Capes activities can be grouped in the following lines of action, each developed by a structured set of programs:
• Evaluation of the stricto sensu postgraduate course;
• Access and dissemination of scientific production;
• Investments in the formation of high-level resources in the country and abroad;
• International scientific cooperation.
• Induction and promotion of the initial and continuous training of teachers for basic education in the face and distance formats
Capes has been decisive for the successes achieved by the national graduate system, both in terms of consolidating the current framework and in building the changes that the advancement of knowledge and the demands of society demand.
The continuously improved evaluation system serves as an instrument for the university community in the search for a standard of academic excellence for national masters and doctorates. The results of the evaluation serve as the basis for the formulation of policies for the postgraduate area, as well as for the dimensioning of the development actions (scholarships, aids, supports).

FAPESP
FAPESP (fapesp.br/en) is a public foundation, funded by the taxpayer in the State of São Paulo, with the mission to support research projects in higher education and research institutions, in all fields of knowledge. São Paulo has a population of forty million and generates 32% of Brazil’s GNP. The constitution of the State establishes that 1% of all state taxes belong to the foundation and the government transfers these funds monthly. The stability of the funding and the autonomy of the foundation allow for an efficient management of the resources that has had a sizable impact: while São Paulo has 22% of the Brazilian population and 30% of the scientists with a doctorate in the country, the state responds for 45% of the country’s scientific articles published in international journals.
The foundation works in close contact with the scientific community: all proposals are peer reviewed with the help of area panels composed of active researchers. Besides funding research in all fields, the foundation supports large research programs in Biodiversity, Bioenergy, Global Climate Change, and in e-Science.
