Multi-year studies are highly valued in both Brazilian and American academic institutions as they provide robust data for peer-reviewed publications. In Brazil, funding for such projects often comes from CNPq (Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico), while in the USA, grants from NIH, NSF, or private foundations are common sources of support. These studies are considered more credible and impactful than short-term research in medical, environmental, and social science fields.
