Abstract

The purpose of the study is to analyze the concentration of beneficiaries of the Program for Scientific Initiation (ProIC) - or Undergraduate Research incentive program - by Professors and Departments at the University of Brasília (UnB) from 2004 to 2018. We use a Herfindahl- Hirschman (HH) index. Index often used for industrial concentration, but adapted to the context of an educational institution. Our purpose is to investigate its reach and use as an incentive to research in a broad way that reaches all fields of expertise. The results indicate that the average concentration is not high. However, when assessing the indexes by year, different patterns and the influence of institutional instruments used to select the participants of the program is perceived.
