This article aims at presenting to the scientific community a report on the activities of the Project Atlas Linguístico do Brasil (ALiB- Lingusitic Atlas of Brazil) concerning the constitution of new researchers and, at the same time, to demonstrate what the Central Committee team has produced since the beginning of this century. We divided the text into four sections: (i) the constitution of the team of investigators that deals with the formation of the National Committee and the attributions of each of its members; (ii) students´ production in Scientific Initiation Projects developed in the several ALiB branches; (iii) the post-graduation students´ production tutored by the scientific directors; and (iv) the production of the coordinators and scientific directors. The results indicate the diversity of theoretical-methodological perspectives in the approach of phenomena related to phonetic, lexical and morphological variation, among others, and also indicate the possibility of associating some aspects of linguistic variation found by ALiB to the proposal by Nascentes (1953).
