Sumario:The paper presents a procedure to manage research activity of the academic staff a of 35 higher educatio n institution network having 87 campi along 49 municipalities. The proposed methodology makes a systematic database search of the scientific production of its academic staff. A Research Productivity Index (IPP), which makes a weighted balanced of selected types of scientific publication and student supervision, was conceived. This rational was extended to evaluate Research Productivity of Undergraduate Programs and Institutions, which is the average IPP of a predetermined fraction of their most productive a cademics. The percentage of academics with non - null IPP was defined as Research Engagement Ratio (NEP), which reveals as the research atmosphere is disseminated among its faculty. This praxis made it possible to identify research excellence, the necessary corrections, as well as to optimiz e available research funding. The use of this methodology for five consecutive years, its embrace to the institutional management practices followed by reports disclosure, has proven to be an efficient mechanism to improv e research capability. Whenever research activities are developed in tune with teaching, they evolve into an important ingredient to maximize results to the educational system. The paper presents a contribution to research management practices in higher ed ucation institutions.
