The Program
The Graduate Program in Applied Research to Children's and Women's Health (PPGPASCM) of the Fernandes Figueira National Institute of Women, Child, and Adolescent Health (IFF/FIOCRUZ), recommended by Capes in 2010, resulted from a critical evaluation and settings, involving professionals from the institution and professors of the Program in Collective Health. The formulated proposal presented to Capes resulted from intense collaborative activity by professionals and was grounded on the possibility of receiving projects previously submitted to the Public Health program, but which did not identify with the lines of research because their characteristics and objectives were geared toward clinical research interests.
Establishing the PPGPASCM incorporated new groups of IFF/FIOCRUZ researchers, with objects of study focused on basic, translational, and clinical research, thus gaining the opportunity to develop their projects with students within the Stricto Sensu Postgraduate Program.
The program aims to strengthen the activities of the IFF/FIOCRUZ Clinical Research Unit, implemented in 2006 as a strategy by the Ministry of Health (MS) to create a national clinical research network to conduct specific tests and studies for the Health System (SUS). It also strengthened the strategy of the Health Technology Assessment Center (NATS), which is a center selected to meet demands related to incorporating health technologies, economic evaluation, or system management in general.
Currently, the program includes two concentration areas and five lines of research, resulting from a broad review carried out at the pedagogical level in 2011 and 2012, due to the accreditation of the institution’s researchers as collaborating professors with production or projects aligned with the program proposal.
The accreditation of collaborators was strategic. It attracted candidates interested in taking a master's or doctoral course with objects of interest to the Program. Faculty is evaluated periodically to identify opportunities for improving the technical-scientific production, the offer of courses, and partnerships between professors for guiding or conducting research projects.
Modalities
Academic Master’s: It aims to deepen technical and academic knowledge, enabling the training of teachers for both higher education and Lato Sensu Graduate courses, developing skills to conduct research in specific areas.
Academic Doctorate: It aims to develop the ability to conduct original and independent research in specific areas.
Postdoctorate: It is an internship that doctoral degree holders can undertake to study in-depth a specific topic. Degrees or credits are not awarded for completion of courses. There is also no obligation to publish the results in indexed journals, although it is strongly recommended. In the IFF/FIOCRUZ Graduate Programs, the Postdoctorate can be carried out with or without a scholarship, obeying the rules established in the public calls for each of the modalities. Candidates must present a project and work plan that align with research of the programs and their supervisor. At the end of the internship, the candidate must submit a report on the activities performed and objectives achieved.

Partnerships
Within IFF/FIOCRUZ research, projects are developed from the Institute's professionals, many with links to postgraduate studies, related to the institutional mission and their activities as professors. The articulation between Education and Research allowed the IFF/Fiocruz to play a relevant role in its areas of activity, highlighting the coordination of the Latin American Network of Human Milk Banks, the Brazilian Network of Neonatal Research (RBPN), and the qualification granted by the Ministry of Health as a Reference Center for Rare and Congenital Diseases. The Medical Genetics Research Center is a reputable reference in Genetics in the country and has been a pioneer in proposing guidelines for public policies in this area. Ordinance MS nº 199/14 is focused on Rare Diseases. It recognized the relevance of this Center and defined the attributions of advice and qualification of Reference Centers for Assistance to Patients with Genetic Anomalies and Congenital Defects (Osteogenesis Imperfecta, Cystic Fibrosis, and other Congenital Malformations). In scientific production, we underscore research on learning difficulties and intellectual disabilities, birth defects, and genetic syndromes. It offers new genetic therapies, including enzyme replacement therapy with recombinant human enzymes for inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). It established a partnership with the National Cancer Institute (INCA), the Luiz Capriglione State Institute of Diabetes and Endocrinology (IEDE), and the Latin American Collaborative Study of Congenital Malformations (ECLAMC). The Center also helps the Ministry of Health in preparing the National Policy for the Management of Clinical Genetics within the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). It has been part of the group of collaborators of the National Institute of Population Medical Genetics (INaGeMP) since 2010.
The IFF/Fiocruz coordinates the Brazilian Neonatal Research Network (RBPN) project, which is an initiative comprising 16 university institutions and research institutes: University of São Paulo (USP), Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP), State University of São Paulo (UNESP), USP-Ribeirão Preto, University of Campinas (Unicamp), Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul, Federal University do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Federal University of Maranhão (UFMA), Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU), State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Federal University of Paraná ( UFPR), Faculty of Medical Sciences of Minas Gerais, State University of Londrina (UEL), the Mother and Child Institute of Pernambuco, and the very IFF/Fiocruz, which aims to build and apply quality neonatal care indicators and conduct multicenter and collaborative perinatal studies.
This network allowed operationalizing the technical cooperation agreement with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (UK), involving IFF/Fiocruz and the Municipal Health Secretariat of Rio de Janeiro (SMS/RJ). Projects are developed in the line of research "Prematurity Retinopathy" under the covenant to support strategies for organizing care in the main cause of childhood blindness and an event of fundamental importance in the current epidemiological setting of neonatal morbidity in our environment.
Due to these research projects, IFF/Fiocruz became in 2010 a collaborating center of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) for the eradication of childhood blindness. Since 2005, the Brazilian Neonatal Research Network, with funding from the Ministry of Health, has improved a fundamental tool for the implementation of a system for monitoring perinatal care practices, an application for setting up a database with local processing. The availability of this resource allowed this group of researchers to expand the members of the Neonatal Network through the units of the Rio de Janeiro State Health Secretariat (SES/RJ) and the Rio de Janeiro Municipal Health Secretariat (SMS/RJ), with the prospect of achieving information coverage on 80% of live births in the SUS in Rio de Janeiro.
The team of this research group has developed extensive cooperation work with SES/RJ and SMS/RJ to define and agree protocols for good neonatal practices. This work had a methodology of staging workshops to discuss protocols previously systematized by experts in the area and with the availability of this material for the 12 maternity hospitals involved. The group provides advisorship to the MoH in the Agreement to Reduce Maternal and Neonatal Mortality and participates in the National Network of Teaching Hospital-based Clinical Research. This group works in partnership with professors from the institution's Collective Health program, with the Sergio Arouca National School of Public Health (ENSP/FIOCRUZ) and the Institute of Social Medicine of the State University of Rio de Janeiro (IMS-UERJ). It develops technical cooperation work with the Ministry of Health and with the SES/RJ and SMS/RJ and is developing multicenter research to assess child health indicators during the first two years of life in babies discharged from Neonatal Intensive Care Units.
With the Zika epidemic in the country, an agreement was signed with the National Institutes of Health (NIH in 2015) to study 1000 pregnant women to assess the prevalence of Zika infection in this population in Rio de Janeiro, as part of a an IFF/FIOCRUZ umbrella project entitled “Vertical Exposure to Zika Virus and its consequences on neurodevelopment”. This project relies on several funding sources, including the announcement by the State of Rio de Janeiro Research Support Foundation (FAPERJ) – Zika Network; public notice of the Financier of Studies and Projects (FINEP) and the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES). These projects have several international collaborations with institutes such as the University of California (UCLA), the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (United Kingdom), the American National Institute of Health (NIH), the Broad Institute, and the Wellcome Trust.
The IFF/FIOCRUZ played a prominent role in providing direct care to the population of pregnant women and children exposed to the Zika virus, acting directly in the crisis office established by the FIOCRUZ President’s Office. This action allowed establishing a network with different FIOCRUZ units, such as the Oswaldo Cruz Institute (IOC/FIOCRUZ), the Evandro Chagas National Institute of Infectious Diseases (INI/FIOCRUZ), the Sergio Arouca National School of Public Health (ENSP/FIOCRUZ), the Oswaldo Cruz House (COC/FIOCRUZ), the Institute of Technology in Immunobiologicals (Bio-Manguinhos/FIOCRUZ), the Aggeu Magalhães Institute (IAM/FIOCRUZ), and other national research institutions, such as the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), the University of São Paulo (USP), and the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE), for molecular, clinical, and epidemiological analyses, neurodevelopment monitoring, and development of diagnostic kits.
The IFF/FIOCRUZ has acted as a consultant to the Ministry of Health and developed technical cooperation partnerships with the SES/RJ and SMSDC/RJ in its area of competence. The following technical advisory services can be mentioned among the inter-institutional articulations:
I. National Supplementary Health Agency (ANS), to reduce unnecessary cesarean rates;
II. Master's Course in Epidemiology, Management and Health Policies at the University of Lanús (Argentina);
III. Implementation of Milk Banks in Honduras, Guatemala, Antigua, Managua and Argentina with the International Development Research Center (Canada) and the Latin American Network of Human Milk Banks;
IV. Together with the National Cancer Institute and the Gynecology Institute of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, to implement a training program for gynecologists in secondary care for the prevention of cervical cancer;
V. Consultancy for the North-Northeast Perinatal Network;
VI. With the MoH, to develop several actions, among which we highlight technical advice and training of human resources for the implementation of the Rede Cegonha;
VII. With the Ronald Mc Donald's Institute, for the early diagnosis of childhood cancer;
VIII. With the MoH, to disseminate Humanized Care for Low Weight Newborns – Kangaroo Method;
IX. With the MoH/INCA, to update the Brazilian Guidelines for Cervical Cancer Screening.
