Abstract

According to the Technical Reserve FAPESP for Institutional Research Infrastructure (RTI) is intended to support collective research infrastructure that benefits Research Projects supported by FAPESP in the institution. Thus, the Local Research Commission made a work to a policy of applying the resources of RTI / FAPESP, since this had not yet been implemented. The Campus of Registro is growing every year and this implies a need for infrastructure to house and develop projects. [...] Thus, the Local Research Commission received proposals from all researchers involved in the uptake of this feature in 2012 and conducted extensive discussion and adopted two suggestions, a) restructuring/adaptation of existing place at the Experimental Farm for reception and first processing of samples from field and b) installation and flooring granite countertops in 04 laboratories campus BR. The improvements will benefit all the researchers because they are multidisciplinary, like the assumptions of FAPESP. The Director Board approved the application in October 18, 2013. The plan of use of RTI will be 12 months, it is expected to start from January 2014. (AU)
