Methodology: It studied character assessment that took a unit of analysis from each of the integrated courses of the quid-INNOVA. The variables studied corresponded to indicators of academic type (cover, performance and level of adaptation) and indicators of scientific impact (potential productivity, direct productivity, general productivity and research action productivity). Results: The eyecatching results show that there have been 6 direct publications from each of the 10 students who have participated in some formation activity of scientific character or that more than 70% of the research projects generated in the program and presented in the investigation assembly of the Department of Health of the Government of Andalucía have obtained financing. The quid-INNOVA program has significantly helped in the scientific production and has made a clear example of the transition from training to practice, given that it has increased the scientific knowledge in terms of published articles and financed research projects. Conclusions: The quid-INNOVA program has helped so significantly in the scientific production that it has made of it a clear example  of the transfer from formation to the practice because it has increased the scientific knowledge in terms of published articles and of financed research projects.
