In 2015, FAPESP received a total of $ PPP 729.7 million. Of this total, 77.4% or $ PPP 565 million was transferred from the State Treasury, equivalent of 1% of the fiscal revenues collected by the state of São Paulo as determined by the State Constitution. The amount is 4.7% superior in nominal terms to the transfer of 2014, but it represents a negative real growth rate of 6% with respect to 2014 and is 4.7% lower than forecasted in FAPESP’s budget projection for 2015 due to the slowdown of the Brazilian economy. By statutory disposition, FAPESP must maintain profitable assets to invest in research support in a way that complements the resources received from the State Treasury. Thus, another 5.5% ($ PPP 39.9 million) of income is made up of capital revenue and 17.1% ($ PPP 124.7 million) comes from other revenue sources, such as from contracts with other institutions for joint funding of research in which some partners elect to transfer resources for FAPESP to administer expenditures.
