Thematic Grants (5-year grants)

The modality Research Grants - Thematic Project aims to support research proposals with enough bold objectives, to justify a duration of up to five years and the conditions particularly favored of funding and support, including the possibility of granting additional requests related to the project. In general, a team of several researchers, often from different departments or institutions, is engaged in a Thematic Project, in order to obtain scientific or technological results of major impact to advance the frontiers of knowledge.

Abstract
Physical inactivity is one of the causes of the epidemic of obesity and diabetes. The World Health Organization showed in 2018 that around 28% of the world population had insufficient physical activity and Latin America has one of the highest rates of inactivity. Thus, it is important to evaluate the molecular mechanisms involved in the practice of physical exercise, the mediators involve…
Role of kallikrein kinin system on metabolism and repercussion on voluntary exercise, AP.TEM
Abstract
Transcription factors (TFs) are proteins that bind to specific DNA sequences in order to direct which genes should be turned on or off to control cellular metabolism. The regulatory elements found at many promoters and enhancers afford the cells the opportunity to promptly regulate the expression of genes set to affect a specific cellular response. In physiological context, dysfunction in…
New road to thermogenesis: targeting nuclear receptor Nr2f6 in skeletal muscle, AP.TEM
Abstract
Fire is an important evolutionary and ecological factor worldwide, especially in the Cerrado. Plants in fire-prone ecosystems have traits that enable them to persist and survive after fire, which, in turn, may influence ecosystem functioning, by impacting productivity and nutrient cycling. Although some of these processes have already been described for Cerrado vegetation, many ecologica…

Abstract
COVID-19 is a disease produced by the SARS-CoV-2 virus that is part of a broad family of viruses that can cause illness in humans and animals. This virus has spread rapidly around the world, which has led the World Health Organization to classify this disease as an international health emergency and, subsequently, declare a COVID-19 pandemic. The number of cases reaches 19,200,000. cases …
EPICOVID 19-BR 2: national wide seroprevalence survey with expanded access, AP.TEM
Abstract
Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are the central control units determining the dynamics of living systems to changing environmental conditions. The recent advances in genomics and systems biology approaches have allowed the investigation of GRNs in at a resolution with no precedents. Yet, GRNs are combinatorial, where multiple signaling pathways acts together to control the large diversity…
Unravelling the complexity of microbial gene regulatory networks, AP.TEM
Abstract
Scientific, political and operational approaches to the challenges of sustainable development in cities are mostly technological. At the same time that governance increasingly promotes official citizen participation, alternatives planning experiences are multiplying, especially in precarious urban areas, as well as urban co-production practices that bring together civil society, universit…
