The most significant phase of vacancies in Brazilian federal public education system was promoted at the beginning of the 21st century by the Program to Support Restructuring and Expansion Plans of Federal Universities - Reuni. This process of expansion has considerably altered the reality of federal universities, with the consequent increase in the demand for resources for the maintenance of enlarged and created structures. It is argued that university expansion has raised the demand for resources and the autonomy of institutions is impacted by this scenario due to the dependence of the national treasury. Thus there is an interconnection between autonomy and financing. In this sense, this thesis aims to identify how the issues of autonomy and financing are present in the institutional planning of federal universities. The bibliographical review presents concepts about university autonomy and financing models of higher education, as well as contextualizations about the reality of Brazilian federal universities. The methodological definitions used classify this study as exploratory, using a qualitative approach, the case study method and the content analysis technique. The case study covered twenty universities selected using pre-established criteria and the content analysis technique was applied through the software NVivo, version 12.4, with the mapping and analysis of the Institutional Development Plan of the respective selected universities. The results show that in general the institutional planning of federal universities is in line with the literature. The evidence presented demonstrates the existence of limitations regarding the management of the academic career, the understanding of the federal universities regarding governmental dependence and insufficient resources for the development of research activities, with the consequent confirmation of the erosion of the financing model by the OCC Matrix and the investment resource trading arena. Thus, although funding is an important factor for the development of federal universities, it is necessary to broaden the debate in the federal higher education system regarding resource autonomy, as well as to suggest new financing alternatives capable of giving federal universities a greater degree of stability in face of the country's political and economic changes.
