The development of universities and research agencies was important to leverage Brazilian science. From this, the study sought to understand the process of funding research with scientific and technological production belonging to the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in the period from 2008 to 2018 and indexed in the Web of Science and PatentScope databases. It is a descriptive research that uses scientometry as a method. The data were collected in August 2019 and unified in a database in Excel, software used in the analysis and creation of tables and graphs. It was found that the University has 16,700 records with indications of funding indexed in the Web of Science, and 381 patent records in the PatentScope. Both productions show signs of growth, where UFRGS 'scientific production is mostly financed by public funding institutions. The patent deposits made by the University took place with educational and research institutions, but also with companies. Verifying the relationship between financing and technological production, the research showed, from the authorship, that the technological production of the University, also, is carried out receiving some type of promotion.
