This article reports the results of a study on research projects presented by undergraduate research scholarship recipients from the Institutional Programs of Scientific Initiation Scholarships (PIBIC) at FIOCRUZ during the Yearly Undergraduate Research Symposiums (RAIC) between 1993 and 2007. The method involved cross-searching the names of grantees and used as basic working tools the proceedings of such symposiums and the lists of scholarships granted by both PIBIC and CNPq (National Council of Scientific and Technological Development). The grantees’ names were standardized so that a search could be made on the Lattes Platform about whether or not such students had met the objectives of PIBIC, i.e. if they pursued graduate studies after completing their undergraduate degree. Moreover, the names of the universities and the areas of study undertaken by the grantees were gathered and standardized. The influence of FIOCRUZ was observed in the choice for the graduate program the grantees decided to enter and the research activities they conducted afterwards.
