The objective is to map and analyze the profiles of Research Productivity (PQ) grant recipients from the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) in the Health Sciences, specifically in the fields of Medicine and Public Health. This is a descriptive study with a qualitative-quantitative approach, using data collected from the CNPq’s Memória Portal. The Health Sciences encompass nine areas with 1,777 researchers. The two areas with the highest concentration of grant recipients were selected: Medicine (517 – 29.09%) and Public Health (245 – 13.79%). In Medicine, there is a concentration of grant recipients at Level B (125 – 24.18%), and in Public Health, at Level C (76 – 31.02%). The University of São Paulo leads in Medicine, with 136 researchers (26.31%). In Public Health, the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation stands out with 51 (20.82%). As for researchers by state, there is a predominance in the Southeast Region, with 387 (74.86%) in Medicine and 147 (60.00%) in Public Health. It is expected that this research will contribute to the production of knowledge regarding the distribution of PQ grants and the parameters used by CNPq for the allocation of grants in the Health Sciences.
