Peru Publishes Decree Granting Nine-Month Research Bonus for Public University Faculty

The incentive is non-remunerative, financed within the Education Ministry's existing budget.

Overview

  • Payments will run from April through December 2026, with progressive rollout under Article 86 of Law 30220.
  • Monthly amounts are S/4,434 for full-time principal with exclusive dedication, S/2,910 for associate, and S/2,616 for assistant with exclusive dedication.
  • Eligibility prioritizes documented scientific output and verification through CONCYTEC’s Renacyt registry.
  • The bonus does not count toward salary or pensions, carries no social charges, and is excluded from calculations for other labor benefits.
  • Beneficiaries can lose the bonus due to explicit resignation, suspension or termination of employment, exclusion from Renacyt, or holding incompatible public posts.
