CONFAP - National Council of State Research Support Foundations

The State Foundations for Research Support (FAPs), as participants of the National Council of State Research Support Foundations (CONFAP) in Brazil, share a Memorandum of Understanding for Cooperation in Science, Technology and Innovation actions. The FAPs will foster cooperative research projects to be proposed in the respective Federation Units, in any field of knowledge, and in accordance with the scientific policy of the foundations. It is expected that research projects be conducted by scientists from different states as well as scientific exchange activities. In the partnerships resulting from this Memorandum of Understanding, there is no obligation for all signatory FAPs to carry out projects, thus respecting the autonomy of each FAP.

Among FAPESP cooperation actions, the agreement with the Newton Fund aims at implementing scientific and technical cooperation among researchers from the United Kingdom and the State of São Paulo, by means of funding joint research projects.

Abstract
Insufficient and non-renewable energy supply is a reality in isolated communities on islands in the Amazon estuary. In this geographic context, river access is the majority, imposing difficulties for the usual infrastructure, logistics, monitoring and integrated research formats. However, in recent years, Ilha das Cinzas has become a living laboratory that integrates the riverine way of l…

Abstract
The recent interest in the use of cocoa pulp for other applications besides serving as substrate for the fermentation process of cocoa beans motivates research to answer its real influence on microbial succession, metabolite formation during fermentation and the quality of the products generated. This proposal will be developed jointly by four institutions. The Federal University of Pará …

Abstract
Ophidian accidents are an important health issue, being responsible for more than 20,000 accidents occurring annually in Brazil. Most accidents recorded in the country involve snakes of the Bothrops genus (86%). In the northern region of the country, 38% of snakebites occur, with Pará being the most affected state. It is suspected that B. atrox is the species responsible for the majority …

Abstract
We propose to research and deepen the knowledge about the coastal economy, a space of contact between land and sea, dominated by two economic circuits, one superior (from large companies) and another inferior, from small companies. In particular, we will focus on the small business circuit, which will serve as the basis for proposing a territorial policy, namely: valuing the short economi…

Abstract
Farming is one of the main greenhouse gas emitting agents, such as carbon (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O). Much of Brazil's contribution to CO2 emissions is due to the relatively recent change in land use and driven mainly by deforestation for land tenure through the burning and incorporation of soil material without nutrient replenishment into this system. Landowners use pasture as the che…

Abstract
This study aims to acquire multidisciplinary information with an emphasis on biogeochemical actors, in an integrated way with the socioenvironmental activities practiced in two different estuarine systems, under different tidal action, one with micro tidal action (tidal amplitude about 1.6 m) and another with macro tide action (tidal amplitude about 6 m), which can generate important know…

Abstract
The Amazon Biome presents great diversity, still under-explored, but which is seriously under threat. In 2021 there was an increase in deforestation compared to 2020. In addition to climate and conservation issues arising from the degradation of wild fauna and flora, there is an intricate relationship between deforestation and the occurrence of diseases, particularly infectious ones. The …
