FAPESP CEPID Scholarship 2026

The FAPESP CEPID Scholarship refers to scholarships and research grants offered through centers funded under the Research, Innovation and Dissemination Centers (CEPID) program of the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP). These opportunities are usually attached to specific research projects hosted by CEPID centers in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, rather than being a single centralized scholarship competition.

Based on the referenced posting, CEPID-funded opportunities can support postdoctoral research and may also involve collaboration with multidisciplinary teams that include PhD, master's, and undergraduate students. One cited opportunity at the University of São Paulo focused on academic management of research projects in low-carbon tropical agriculture and offered a monthly research grant for a short fixed period.

Funding and duration vary by vacancy. In the referenced example, the award provided a gross monthly grant of R$8,479.20 for 3 months. Other CEPID scholarships may have different values, durations, and research expectations depending on the host center, project scope, and academic level.

Eligibility is typically defined by the individual posting. For postdoctoral roles, applicants generally need a completed PhD in a relevant field, suitable research experience, and skills aligned with the project. Some positions may also require English proficiency, scientific reporting ability, or experience working in large collaborative research environments.

Applicants usually apply directly to the host CEPID center or university unit advertising the position. Before applying, candidates should carefully review the specific call for details on eligible backgrounds, required documents, funding terms, and deadlines. Because CEPID scholarships are project-based, interested students and researchers should monitor FAPESP and host-institution announcements regularly for open positions.
