Catalan term or phrase: en el qual quedi adscrit el becari, preferentment finançat
Beques predoctorals per a la formació de personal investigador.



L'objecte d'aquesta convocatòria és la formació predoctoral d'investigadors mitjançant la seva incorporació a grups de recerca de les universitats o centres públics de recerca de Catalunya, que tinguin vigent un projecte d'R+D ****en el qual quedi adscrit el becari, preferentment finançat*****

It seemsd a bit naive to baldly say that the pre-doctoral individual would 'preferably' be 'financed'.

Am I missing something?

If not, how could I make this sound less bald?

Explanation:
it could be that it's the research project that is financed

you could say "r&d project...if possible with financing already arranged" or, if you decide that it refers to the student, you could say "with a pre-arranged source of finance" or something of the sort?

The sentence was ambiguous but I interpreted it as the project having had its finsncing arranged, as the reference to the becario would have been odd

in which the scholarship holder is affiliated and the project preferably financed


Explanation:
The problem here is that the original wants to put too much information in just one sentence. As the sentence finishes too suddenly, I cannot be sure if they mean that the I+D project is financed or they refer to the scholarship, who has already a grant, which is its way of financing.
If you tell me what's after "preferentment finançat" I can tell you the exact translation :)
