Other Activities by the Federal Government
Together, the CNPq, CAPES, and Finep are responsible for the administration
of the World Bank-supported PADCT program, under the coordination
of the Ministry of Sciene and Technology. Generally, the agencies
under the ministry do not handle more than a third of the country's
total science and technology federal budget, with another third
going to projects in the military sector . Another major agency
is the Brazilian
Agriculture and Livestock Research Enterprise (Embrapa), which
has a budget equivalent to that of the CNPq. The traditional Oswaldo
Cruz Foundation in Rio
de Janeiro remains an important research institution in public
health and related fields.
