Collaborating Researcher Program – CRP
The Collaborating Researcher program of UFABC is the only institutional process that allows researchers without employment ties with UFABC to develop research in the university’s facilities. The program aims to foster scientific and technological research in the institution, enabling the contribution of external collaborators, and the development of professionals who want to continue improving as researchers, with the achievement of a level of excellence in a certain area of knowledge.
The program also allows the researcher to collaborate with the didactic activities and guidance of students of scientific initiation, since it contemplates all pre-established requirements. The participation of a Collaborating Researcher Program scholarship holder or volunteer is allowed. This category does not apply to academic mobility students interested in carrying out research and/or teaching for a study period at UFABC.
The program was established by ConsUni Resolution No. 232, of September 27, 2023, published in Service Bulletin No. 1284. The establishment of the rules for participation was made by Research Commission Resolution No. 004, of April 30, 2024, published in Service Bulletin nº 1342.
Instructions for participation in the Collaborating Researcher Program of UFABC
1. Initially, the interested party should seek a supervisor, professor of UFABC, who will be jointly responsible to the researcher for his acts and activities within the institution. The supervisor must meet the criteria set out in Article 5 of ConsUni Resolution No. 232.
2. The supervisor will be responsible for requesting registration with the Pro-Rectory of Research (ProPes), and forwarding the relevant documentation to the e-mail <cap.propes@ufabc.edu.br>, from his or her institutional e-mail.
3. Propes, upon receiving all the documentation and the form completely completed and signed, will send an e-mail to the secretariat of the Center to which the supervisor is linked, giving knowledge and waiting for approval for the continuation of the registration.
4. The researcher will receive an e-mail confirming the implementation of the registration, also containing instructions to create network login and institutional e-mail, and a link statement, which will be attached.
