“…The phenomenon was primarily due to the restrictions on the movement and research activities of scientists, and the cancellation of research funding caused scientific production to stagnate during the pandemic situation [ 38 ]. Different research projects perform admirably in specific contexts, such as the development of vaccines, medicines, and medical supplies and equipment, but perform poorly in others, with fisheries and aquaculture being no exception [ 39 ]. After the pandemic situation declined, research focused on fisheries, marine, blue economy, and fish feed topics obviously increased, as evidenced by an increase in scientific publications from 2021 to 2022 [ 40 ].…”

Objective: The objective of this narrative review is to discuss the current state of research funding in Brazil. Materials and Methods: This study is based on the most recent edition of the course Funding for Research and Innovation in the University of Sao Paulo School of Medicine which was a three-day course with 12 hours of instruction. The course brought together leading experts in the field to comprehensively discuss the current state of research funding in Brazil. Each speaker provided a presentation on a specific topic related to research funding. After the workshop, speakers assembled relevant topics in this manuscript. Results: collaborative research is critical for securing research funding. It optimizes proposal competitiveness, amplifies societal impact, and manages risks effectively. As such, fostering and supporting these collaborations is paramount for both researchers and funding agencies. To maintain the highest integrity in research, investigators involved in these collaborations must disclose any relationships that could potentially influence the outcomes or interpretation of their projects. Conclusions: In Brazil, the mainstay of research funding stems from public entities, with agencies such as CNPq, CAPES, and state bodies like FAPESP, FAPERJ, FAPEMIG and others at the forefront. Concurrently, industry funding offers viable pathways, especially through industry-sponsored studies, investigator-led projects, and collaborative initiatives. The Brazilian funding landscape is further enriched by innovative platforms, including crowdfunding and the contributions of institutions like the Serrapilheira Institute. Internationally, esteemed organizations such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation stand out as potential funders.

“…One example is the discrepancy between the number of vaccines approved by the European Medicines Agency versus the World Health Organization, where some vaccines were considered inadequate for the former. This has led to confusion, skepticism, and an increased sense of injustice (Sikimić 2022).…”
