Health Marathon Awards

FCT and the Maratona da Saúde Association (MdS) promoted the Maratona da Saúde Awards between 2014 and 2022, with the aim of promoting Portuguese scientific research in different areas of biomedicine.

The protocol signed between MdS and the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, IP (FCT) provided for FCT's support in the application process, including defining the composition of the Jury and the processes for receiving and submitting applications to the Jury.

The funding allocated to the selected research projects came mainly from individual donations raised during the MdS television show, broadcast by RTP.
