Abstract
Performance indicators were built for the Institute de Biofisica Carlo s Chagas Filho, one of the most well-reputed Brazilian science centers . The Institute's performance presents a positive trend - articles num ber have doubled (1981-1995), and the articles impact grew from 4.20, in 1981, to 7.78, in 1990. This trend is probably being influenced by increasingly human resources involved in the Institute's scientific ac tivities and by the continuous growth of national and international co llaboration. The follow up of indicators trends can be useful for the evaluation of long term policies directed to implement human resources programs and institutional collaborative work among scientific instit utions.
