Cutting edge research: Research, Innovation and Dissemination Centers – RIDC

Established by FAPESP in 1998, the RIDC Program funds research projects that address transformative questions regarding current knowledge and whose results can have positive impacts on society. RIDCs are expected to conduct ambitious and excellent research on relevant themes in their respective knowledge areas. The program strives to gather scientists around questions of basic research or application-oriented projects, to enable them to form world-class research centers. In addition, each RIDC must actively develop opportunities whereby to research results show commercially and/or socially relevant high-impact applications, as well as contributing to education and dissemination of knowledge.
