$80 million dollars invested in research

Again Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) is playing its part. 120 millions Brazilian Real is being placed for research on ALL scientific knowledge fields. Partnering with National Fund for Scientific and Technological Development (Fundo Nacional de Desenvolvimento, Científico e Tecnológico - FNDCT/Fundos Setoriais) this money will be strategically distributed and 30% of it will be directed to the North, North-east or Midwest to consolidate the National System for Technological and Scientific Innovation.


Ignore the next paragraph if you don't want to read my personal opinion:

As a Southern I must, not with pleasure, disclaim that these 3 regions are the most corrupt, politically, in the country and also contribute the least to Brazilian's GDP. Many Southern people like me complaint that as we pay higher and higher taxes, we get less and less support. South and South-east are the economic powerhouses of Brazil - and most of South-America - and we do feel left-out of some national investment programs.
