PROGRAMS
IDGlobal Program
The IDGlobal Program is dedicated to nurturing young Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Quilombola talents in academic research with a focus on social impact. The initiative aims to provide innovative solutions for funding academic pursuits among groups historically excluded from this career path. Launched in 2023, the program’s inaugural cycle was made possible through a grant from the Ford Foundation.
“Through the IDGlobal Program, I have been able to experience research as a tool for transformation, both personally and for the communities I work with. My experiences as a researcher have enabled me to reach new heights, such as my master’s degree in law and now my exchange to Norway, where I will have the opportunity to investigate environmental and indigenous issues on a global scale. This journey reflects what many indigenous researchers believe: the importance of occupying these spaces, showing that research can be done by us and for us.”

“My role as a researcher in the IDGlobal Program represents not only a shift in perspective regarding my academic and professional journey but also a way to assert my voice and fulfill a sense of privilege and responsibility toward my community within a space that remains so exclusive. Recently, I was accepted into the Master’s program at PUC-Rio, set to begin in 2025—a milestone I see as a direct result of the transformative experience provided by the Program.
