This essay presents an inter-institutional research initiative that brings together three research groups linked to graduate programs in physical education: the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, the University of São Paulo, and the Federal University of Espírito Santo. The main topics behind the project are the training policies for physical education and public health, which, initially, focus on the Education Program for Work in Health. The investigations to be undertaken aim to monitor and analyze the composition and coordination processes involved in teaching, in services, and in the community in pursuit of constituting a network of knowledge and practices that can meet the challenges of providing training in health committed to defending and consolidating the Unified Health System (SUS).
