Fondap Centers

 

The FONDAP Centers for Excellence look to articulate the work of research groups in areas of knowledge where national science has reached a high level of development and counts on a significant number of investigators with demonstrated productivity.

The Fund for Advanced Research in Priority Areas Program (FONDAP) offers financing for the creation of excellence centers, to lead the higer-level scientific research within a certain area, as well as strengthening the formation of young investigators (graduate-level degrees) by giving them the opportunity to develop activities within the same center.
