Overview
ANII supports eligible Uruguay-based companies and public or private research institutions with part of the cost of protecting qualifying R&D results abroad through patents and utility models.
Complete grant details
The instrument can cover part of the investment needed to prepare, file and prosecute patent and utility-model applications outside Uruguay. Projects may run for up to 36 months. The checked current page does not state one universal contribution percentage or cap, so no unsupported amount is listed.
Eligibility requirements
Companies and public or private institutions established in Uruguay that conduct research activities and own the R&D development they seek to protect, subject to ANII bases.
Tips for this grant
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
