Fundación Manuel Pérez y Concepción Mayolin supports biomedical research and researcher development, with a strong emphasis on the Faculty of Medicine at Universidad de la República and related Uruguayan scientific institutions. Its grants tend to back practical, project-based research that strengthens institutional capacity, especially in health, diagnostics, epidemiology, cancer, and COVID-19 response. It also appears to invest in early-career researchers and training opportunities, including postgraduate fellowships and international research stays.
Primarily competitive, program-specific grants and calls for proposals, often administered through formal convocatorias with fixed deadlines. Awards vary from relatively small project grants to larger targeted research funds, and some programs require co-funding or are limited to specific institutions or disciplines; several opportunities are time-bound or closed after each call.

Monitor the foundation’s published convocatorias closely and apply only during active calls; some programs have annual deadlines (for example, mid-November for research calls) while others are one-off. Many opportunities are restricted to Universidad de la República/Faculty of Medicine or Uruguay-based investigators, and some require a co-funding commitment or an existing institutional letter of intent.
