FAPESP is the state research foundation for Sao Paulo, Brazil. It funds scientific and technological research across all fields and is backed by a constitutional revenue stream, with 1% of state tax revenues flowing to the foundation each month. That funding model gives it unusual stability for a regional public funder, and its projects are reviewed by active researchers through peer review.
