Universities have multiple roles, based on knowledge and learning. Furthermore, they are directly related to innovation. Therefore, they are fundamental pieces for national and regional development. In this context, teaching, research and extension are approached with an emphasis on extension in Latin America and Brazil. In the Brazilian case, university extension often occurs in a timely manner. In order to consolidate the role of the university in regional development, the Center for Management and Strategic Studies (CGEE), based on demand from the Ministry of Education (MEC), created the program of the Centers for Regional Development (CDR), with the main objective of leverage Brazilian regional development, using Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) as “developmental universities”. The CDR proposes to move local actors in search of Brazilian regional development, based on inclusive innovation policies, which use knowledge as a basis and seek to improve the life of society. Currently, there are four projects in the pilot phase, in the regions of Campina Grande (PB), Campanha (RS), Sudoeste Paulista (SP) and Distrito Federal (DF). The objective of this work is to analyze the CDR project and propose advances in the selection and implementation criteria of the beneficiary regions. To make progress and propose improvements to the implementation process, a methodology is proposed that analyzes the data from the Research Groups Directory (DGP) in three dimensions and indicators and involves the interaction of the research group with society and the productive sector. The main results show that the analysis of the research groups is an extremely relevant data source for the CDR, since it allows to associate and verify the relationship with the selected projects for each pilot region. In addition to the main results that the data provide, indicators are proposed that can be used in the process of implementing a CDR.
