An basic analysis from PROMEP database (until april 2014) was done to get information of the distribution of knowledge generation, about knowledge discipline, kind of institutions and gender basically. Data form PROMEP were extracted to be analyzed in a calculus worksheet. There are 4300 Academic groups recognized by PROMEP which are distribuited in six knowledge disciplines allocated in five educational subsystems. 81 % of recognized academic groups belong to the public universities subsystem, having aproximately one of every five cademic groups in consolidated state 28 % of the total academic groups are working on Engineering and Technology knowledge discipline, with 18 % of them in consolidated state; while education has just 10%, and 17 % in consolidated state. Almost half of the people working on academic groups are women. Based on the results a proposal is formulated to focus the efforts in some specifics disciplines of knowledge to impact in the region where the institutions are located. In addition to this, also a proposal is formulated to have PROMEP data in a Web page with high usability.
