Nicaraguan Higher Education Institutions have as one of their essential objectives to develop and promote scientific research as a fundamental strategy to contribute to the transformation of society. This article describes the role of the Fund for Research Projects (FPI) of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Nicaragua, Managua (UNAN-Managua) in promoting and increasing research at the University. The population under study was composed of the applied and awarded projects in the four calls (2015-2017, 2016-2018, 2017-2019 and 2018-2020). Out of 233 projects received, 127 were financed, of which 66 projects were in the research area of climate change, environmental management, and natural resource management. The modality with the highest number of funded projects was that of Teacher-Researchers. The main limitations have been the delay in financial returns, acquisition of inputs and the delay in delivery of products. However, the FPI has become an important instrument for promoting research at UNAN-Managua, following the agreement with the compromises included in the National Human Development Plan and the Sustainable Development Goals.
