National Call for Scientific & Humanities Research (Convocatoria Nacional de Investigación Científica y Humanística)

The Convocatoria Nacional de Investigación Científica y Humanística is SECIHTI's flagship annual research call in Mexico. It sits under the Secretaría de Ciencia, Humanidades, Tecnología e Innovación and funds university and public research teams across basic science, humanistic research, and strategic national priorities. The call is organized into three chapters: Basic and Frontier Science, Humanistic Research, and Strategic Axes. Eligibility is limited to Mexican universities and research organizations, with documentation in Spanish and application windows that vary by chapter through the early part of the year. Award amounts are set in chapter-level terms documents and denominated in MXN. The best fit is an institution with a serious research agenda that can align with one of the chapters and meet the Spanish-language submission requirements. It is designed for projects with scientific rigor and social relevance, not for individual applicants or commercial teams. In practice, the call rewards proposals that are tightly framed, institutionally grounded, and clearly matched to one of the three thematic routes.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
