Research scholarships and postgraduate studies were readjusted; check the numbers

The amounts referring to research grants had been lagging for ten years, that is, since 2023. The increase through inflation current was promised by several politicians and reaffirmed when Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) assumed the presidency of the country. Now, the government announces the increase percentages to researchers.

The Ministers of Education and Science and Technology, Camilo Santana and Luciana Santos, participate in a meeting with the president on Thursday, the 16th, at the Planalto Palace to discuss details on the increase in purses. The readjustments will cost R$ 2.38 billion, which will be passed on by the ministries of Science and Technology and by the MEC.

Capes and CNPq graduate scholarships will be readjusted by 40%, as well as master's and doctoral scholarships. For the postdoctoral, the percentage increase will be 25%. Through Twitter, Lula announced that the change was being discussed with the responsible ministries. He said that Brazil was seeking to value students and researchers.

Scholarship readjustments

Capes and CNPq

  • Master's: from BRL 1,500 to BRL 2,100 (40% increase);
  • Doctorate: from BRL 2,200 to BRL 3,100 (40% increase);
  • Postdoctoral: from BRL 4,100 to BRL 5,200 (25% increase).

High School and Undergraduate Scholarships

  • Scientific initiation in high school: from R$ 100 to R$ 300 (200% readjustment);
  • Permanence Scholarship: between R$ 400 to R$ 900 (adjustment will be from 55% to 75%);
  • Training of basic education teachers: values ​​can vary from R$ 400 to R$ 1,500 currently, as a 40% to 75% readjustment is being considered.

Indeed, there are many reviews as to the increase and also the amount of time the update took to happen. It has been debated that the change is significant, but it becomes insufficient in the face of the responsibilities that an adult in the master's, doctorate or post-doctorate can face.

This is a position taken by the president of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (ABC), Helena Nader, who finds several situations in which the scholarship amount may still be insufficient. Effective change may be on the way.
