To fill a gap in the studies on science in Rondônia, this study aimed to understand the current state of scientific, technological and innovation development of the State and to identify the configuration of the research groups and the scientific production of the researchers who work there. Of an exploratory and descriptive nature, the research adopted the methodological perspective of Scientometry having as sources of data the Directory of Research Groups in Brazil and the CNPq Lattes Curriculum Platform. The following variables of the research groups (n=258) were analyzed: a) group members profile, institutional linkage, area of knowledge, title and gender of leaders and researchers, research lines, atypical groups, equipment and partnerships; b) indicators of scientific, technological and innovation production, such as the typology of publications (articles, chapters, books, works in the annals of events) and technological and innovation products (research and extension projects, computer programs and patents). Among the main results, it is noteworthy that the growth of research groups in Rondônia occurred only in 2012; that the annals of scientific events are the preferred publication channel for leaders, and that there are gender asymmetries related to the title and scientific and technological production of leaders. The diagnosis proves the scientific contribution of research groups to science in Rondônia in view of the rates achieved in the analysis of the profile of its members and in the scientific, technological and innovation production of the leaders.
