Abstract

Obtaining feedback from the results and achievements of the science, technology, and innovation systems, especially at the national level, is a requirement for any policy system's long-term success. The Ministry of Science, Research and Technology (MSRT), the most vital player in Iran's science, technology, and innovation system, needs to have such a feedback mechanism based on its priority functions of the science, technology, and innovation system, obtaining the best performance.

For this purpose, in this research, using the methodology of framework synthesis, an integrated and comprehensive framework for evaluating the performance of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology based on the selection of 40 key indicators has been presented and validated using the expert panel method. The results of applying the proposed evaluation framework should be adapted to the goals and policies of the national STI system. Based on the latest statistics and information available (from September to March 2022), the performance of the MSRT in the evaluation quadrants is lower than average. Also, we offered some policy recommendations focused on improving key indicators' performance.
