Abstract
The Brazilian scientific community and health care workers are working hard to provide support for the political health measures to deal with this unprecedented crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic. Paradoxically, while the society is looking forward for an immediate response of the scientific community, Brazilian scientists are facing a dramatic reduction in financial support for research and graduate programs.

Summary
Brazilian scientists are facing a dramatic reduction in financial support for research and graduate programs. There are some clues that the scientific output of the country is already declining (Bolaños-Villegas et al 2020). In order to ascertain this issue further, we did a preliminary analysis associating the Brazilian scientific performance with the governmental financial support in the last 18 years. From 2000 to 2009, there was a steady increase in the budget of MCTIC.
