The FCT and the Maratona da Saúde Associação (MdS) promoted between 2014 and 2022 the Maratona da Saúde Awards, which aim to promote Portuguese scientific research in different areas of biomedicine.
The protocol signed between MdS and Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, IP (FCT), provides for FCT support in the application process, including the definition of the composition of the Jury, and the processes for receiving and submitting applications to the Jury.
The funding to be awarded to the selected research projects comes mostly from individual donations raised during the MdS TV show, broadcasted by RTP.
