Foundational Phase
An institutional infrastructure enabling health science to generate real impact at scale in Brazil
We connect science, public policy, and implementation—structuring priorities, criteria, and governance to translate scientific potential into public impact.
A 90-second overview of Agenscia
What it is
An institutional infrastructure designed to connect applied health science, public policy, and large-scale adoption.
Why it exists
Because Brazil produces high-quality science but still faces barriers in translating it into real impact within the health system.
How it operates
Agenscia brings together strategic actors—such as governments, universities, hospitals, and industry partners—and structures criteria and governance to enable coordinated, responsible, and adoption-oriented decision-making at scale.
What it does
It aligns the ecosystem, defines priorities, and creates institutional conditions for science to advance with legitimacy and impact.
What it does not do
It does not execute isolated projects or function as a traditional research center. Instead, it focuses on structuring the conditions that allow science to generate impact at scale.
Who it is for
For institutions and leaders seeking to build sustainable pathways from the ground up to integrate science, public policy, and health system adoption—driving structured, long-term impact.
Agenscia’s role in the ecosystem
Agenscia positions itself as an institutional infrastructure dedicated to integrating applied health science, public policy, and large-scale adoption.
What this means in practice
Ecosystem organization
We support the development of criteria and the alignment of strategic actors.
Structuring institutional pathways
We enable pathways that allow scientific knowledge to be translated into sustainable public impact.
Coordination with legitimacy
We operate as a space for coordination, alignment, and long-term vision—not as an executor or funder
In one sentence
An institutional infrastructure for applied health science.
In practice
Coordination, legitimacy, and the structuring of pathways for impact.
Why we exist
Brazil produces high-quality health science, yet a significant portion of this knowledge still faces barriers to becoming adoption, scale, and tangible benefits for the health system, industry, and society.
Agenscia operates in this space between scientific production and real-world impact.
What we structure in this space
Institutional coordination
We align actors and initiatives to reduce fragmentation and enable consistent decision-making.
Criteria and legitimacy
We support the development of clear criteria grounded in evidence and public relevance.
Alignment with national priorities
We connect applied science to the real needs of the health system and to national strategic agendas.
Agenscia operates across three complementary fronts
What we aim to achieve
Co-development of governance
We co-design, with partner institutions, governance models and decision-making criteria that define priorities, responsibilities, and processes to translate science into public impact with legitimacy and scale.
Action in real-world environments
We structure institutional partnerships that enable action in real-world settings—generating evidence and enabling pathways for large-scale adoption.
Definition of priorities and institutional foundations
We co-define priorities and establish the technical and institutional foundations required for adoption based on evidence, criteria, and systemic feasibility.
