About Fundação Luso-Americana para o Desenvolvimento

Fundação Luso-Americana para o Desenvolvimento (FLAD) is a Portugal-based transatlantic funder that supports cooperation between Portugal and the United States, with a strong emphasis on science, higher education, culture, and Atlantic relations. Its programs tend to back early-career researchers, Portuguese higher education institutions, and cultural projects that strengthen exchange between Portuguese- and English-language communities. The foundation is especially distinctive for funding Atlantic-focused research, research mobility to the U.S., and literary translation as practical bridges between the two countries.

Giving Approach

Offers competitive, program-specific grants and awards with set deadlines; funding ranges from small translation support and €15,000 research awards to larger research prizes up to €300,000 over three years. Most opportunities are time-bound and targeted to specific applicant types, especially researchers based in Portugal and higher education institutions, rather than open-ended general operating support.
