PNPD/CAPES, The National Postdoctoral Degree Program of CAPES, is an institutional grant program that provides funding to stricto sensu academic postdoctoral internships (PPG) recommended by CAPES.

The number of scholarships offered varies according to criteria determined by CAPES. This may consider the performance of the PPG in the four-year assessment, the areas of strategic support, the region where the HEI is located, and others. The recipient PPGs are responsible for selecting and monitoring fellow scholarship holders, including defining their objectives and activities.
