In 2010, FAPESP took in 552 million in $ purchasing power parity (PPP), from the treasury and other sources (in-house resources and federal resources stemming from agreements). The 2010 income was 13% higher than the 2009 income. Expenditures during the fiscal year were $ PPP 530.81 million, of which $ PPP 500.62 million was allocated to research funding. Expenditures were 10.83% greater in 2010 than in 2009. That increase continues the ascending curve of expenditures, which have increased by 69% over the last decade. All fields of knowledge are supported by FAPESP. Because medicine is one of the most traditional fields of research in the state of São Paulo, which has a large number of researchers, this area receives the larger portion of the resources. In 2010, medical research accounted for 27.60% of the total FAPESP expenditures. As in previous years, medicine was followed by biology (receiving 15.84%), engineering (receiving 11.28%), the humanities/social sciences (receiving 9.36%), and agronomy/veterinary (receiving 9.25%). Considering the institutional affiliation of the researchers, FAPESP allocates the largest proportion of its resources to projects carried out at the universities that have the greatest concentration of research groups and researchers in those areas. Therefore, projects by Universidade de São Paulo (USP) researchers received 45.71% of the resources in 2010. Projects carried out at the Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp) received 14.47%; those carried out at the Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp) received 13.40%; and those carried out at federal institutions located in the state of São Paulo received 13.60%.
