Transfer of research results fosters the effectiveness of crucial university processes as well as the quality of health systems and services, bearing in mind the scientific production of professionals from the sector and the research priorities established. A retrospective descriptive study was conducted with the purpose of describing the transfer of research results in the public health sector of the province of Holguín in the period 2016-2020. Use was made of theoretical methods (analysis-synthesis, inductive-deductive and historical-logical) and empirical methods (participatory observation, survey and document review). Descriptive statistics facilitated the analysis, processing and presentation of the variables selected in the form of simple frequency tables. The University of Medical Sciences was the main institution generating transferable research results. The human resources training program and the mother and child care program contributed the largest number of generalizable tasks included among national priorities. The most common transfer mechanisms were transfer workshops and specialized consultancy. Transferred research results correspond to priority programs from the health sector and originate in academic, health care and service institutions. Transfer channels ensured the applicability and fulfillment of the generalization plan. An increase in the transfer of research results is observed in the health system of Holguín in the last five years.

Keywords : Transfer of research results; generalization; public health.
