In 2012, the FAPESP’s income totaled $ PPP 559.44 million. This sum refers to resources transferred by State Treasury (81.93%) and other revenue sources (18.07%), such as working capital and income from agreements signed with federal and state agencies, companies and other Brazilian and foreign institutions interested in supporting collaborative research on themes of common interest. By law, FAPESP must maintain profitable assets for investment in research, complementing the resources received from the State Treasury. Funding outlays during the 2012 fiscal year reached $ PPP 559.44 million, some $ PPP 530.87 million of which allocated to research funding. In the 2007-2012 period, FAPESP’s income grew 26.89% and outlays expanded by 38.57%. The Foundation funds research in all fields of knowledge, but Health is the area that traditionally receives the highest volume of resources because it concentrates a large number of researchers in São Paulo State. In 2012, health-oriented research projects received $ PPP 158.13 million, the equivalent of 29.79% of FAPESP’s total outlays. The other areas that traditionally receive the most resources are: Biology (17.11%), Engineering (10.59%), Human and Social Sciences (10.40%) and Agronomy and Veterinary Sciences (9.41%). Although not among the areas receiving the largest allocations, Science and Computer Engineering saw a 58.11% increase in FAPESP funding.
