[Research groups in nursing in the South Region part of Brazil].
The study purpose is to describe how the Research Groups of Nursing Education (RGNE) are organized in the Southern of Brazil. It's a documental study descriptive and explorative, of qualitative research, with the data collection from the Brazilian National Agency for Science and Technology (CNPq) Groups Directory website 2006 census. The South Region presents 18 RGNE with 173 researchers; most of them have Master and Doctor Degree, working like professor. There are 111 students; most of them are graduating from the nursing course. Nevertheless, we still have a small number of scientific initiation scholarships. There are 27 technicians, who have got masters degree or have taken a specialization and have worked on assistance and teaching working in nursing area. The expressive participation of undergraduate students seems to improve the nursing researcher formation. Therefore, there is a great need to invest in the interdisciplinary process and the teaching-working integration at RGNE.
