The article describes some characteristics of researchers and scientific production in the health field. The data was obtained through a survey carried out with a sample of 180 researchers selected at random from among the leaders of research groups registered in the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq)’s research directory. Compared to the total of researchers in the CNPq research directories, the interviewees had a higher median age, a similar distribution by sex and a similar academic background. No differences in salary were noted according to the area of activity. Scientific production is usually limited to academic environments and shows accentuated growth. Academic training and qualification is taking place in the country, and is a key factor in the growth and enhancement of health research.Downloads
