Abstract: This chapter focuses on measuring the impact of the efficiency and productivity of the research units of the member universities of the CNU. The multi-stage DEA methodology was used with the BCC model of variable returns to scale (VRS). The results showed that in competitive conditions, the efficiency indicators of the DMUs for the universities are defined by business borders; however, when efficiency is analyzed in experimental conditions, the border is marked by the Quality Control Laboratory, Entomophagous Laboratory, the Biochemistry and Physiology Laboratory of UNAN León, and the Tissue Culture and Molecular Biology Laboratory. The efficiency indicators were 19% under constant yields, both in competition and experimental conditions, but varied from 27% to 38% under variable yields, surpassing the competition conditions. Finally, in terms of scale production, the efficiency indicators under experimental conditions decreased from 79% to 65%.
