← Back to the selection process
The official CV for anyone who studies and does research in Brazil. It is maintained by CNPq, a federal government agency that supports research. Scholarships, calls for proposals, and selection processes usually ask for the Lattes.
The address of your CV, in this format:
lattes.cnpq.br/1234567890123456
Your CPF, an ID document (the data must match the document), your email, and a photo of your face.
I already have a Lattes. Where do I find my link?
Open your CV
Go to lattes.cnpq.br and open your CV. If you don't remember the number, use the page's search ("Search CV") and look for your name.
Find the address
At the top of the CV you will see the "Lattes ID", with 16 digits, and the "Address to access this CV". Copy that address, which starts with
lattes.cnpq.br/.Paste into the form
This is the link that goes in the Lattes field. The 16-digit ID alone is also accepted.
Do not create a second CV. If you already have one, just check that it is up to date.
I don't have a Lattes: create one now
Abra a Plataforma Lattes
Go to lattes.cnpq.br and look for the "Register new CV" option. On some screens it is called "Create CV".
Create your access
Depending on the screen, access is through your gov.br account, your CPF, or email and password. Enter your full name, CPF, and date of birth exactly as they appear on your ID. Use an email you will keep for years.
Fill in what is required
Personal details, a photo, and an address (it can be your home address). When you finish each tab, click "Next". You can complete the rest later.
Enter your undergraduate program
Under "Academic education", register your program (Medicine, Nursing, or other), the institution (for example, University of Brasília), and the year you started. That is enough for now.
Save and submit
Click "Save". If the screen shows the "Send CV to CNPq" option, click it as well, so that the public version is updated.
Copy your link
Once created, the CV has a "Lattes ID" of 16 digits at the top. Your link is
lattes.cnpq.br/followed by that number. Write it down to paste into the form.
Common questions
My CV will be empty. Is that a problem?
No. The form only needs the Lattes to exist. After you join the group, the CV gets filled in with your work.
The website screen is different from what you describe.
CNPq's screens change from time to time. Follow the function of each step (create the CV, fill in the data, save, copy the link), even if the button's name is slightly different.
I forgot my Lattes password.
Use the password recovery option on the login screen. If you log in with your gov.br account, recover the password through gov.br.
I'm stuck on a step. Who do I ask?
Write to escoladepacientes@gmail.com telling us which step you stopped at. Don't leave it to the last minute.
