Organizational
Structure
The organizational structure of INCT-INOFAR is made up of a Coordinator, a Vice-
Coordinator, and the Management and Follow-Up Committee (CGA). The CGA is a
consulting and decision-making body that is responsible for the strategic planning of INCT-
INOFAR activities.
The Scientific Superintendence supports the Coordination, acting in the technical-scientific
evaluation of projects, as well as on making sure previously established deadlines are met.
INCT-INOFAR also has, under confidentiality terms, specialist consultants acting on the
evaluation of projects, so that research activities may be optimized. In a few of the projects,
the consultants suggest changes necessary to meeting the Institute goal of discovering new
Brazilian pharmaceuticals.
The INCT-INOFAR network of scientific competencies is made up of 32 research groups
located in 15 institutions distributed in 8 Brazilian states. Each research group associated
with INCT-INOFAR is led by a specialist responsible for the scientific interaction of his or
her team among themselves and with other research groups.
The Financial, Executive, and Media Secretaries provide the support needed for the full
development of the research and publicizing activities carried out by INCT-INOFAR.
They are physically located in the Health Sciences Center of UFRJ, where the Institute
headquarters is located.
