The Institutional Postdoctoral Program aims to promote high-level studies of excellence, strengthen national research groups and promote the inclusion of researchers in postdoctoral internships, encouraging their integration with research projects developed by postgraduate programs in the country. In addition, the PIPD seeks to promote the improvement of doctors through teaching and research and the internationalization of postgraduate programs by encouraging post-doctoral internships abroad.

These stays can be up to three years long.
