Considering the specificities of these Areas that make up the academic, research and extension structure of the CCBS / UFSCar, CoC-CCBS, following the guidelines of FAPESP, guided its deliberation in the diagnosis of the current situation, from which the necessary actions were established to overcome the difficulties identified and to improve CCBS' collective research infrastructure. The initial diagnosis was based on three main pillars: 1) Common infrastructure; 2) Infrastructure of the biological area; and 3) Infrastructure of the health area. (AU)
