Annually more than 50 research projects are conducted by Agricultural Biotechnology Research Institute of Iran. However, there is no factual information about the effective and practical use and implementation of their findings. The present research aims to assess the number of research projects whose findings have been utilized in practice, as viewed by the project managers. To achieve this goal, questionnaires were sent to a نمونه of 155 research project managers from a pool of 259 projects completed during 2001-2011. The response rate to the questionnaires was 75% (101). The findings of this study show that the results of only one third of research projects were used in practice. About 91% of the respondents also believed that the projects had been defined and carried out according to a set of predetermined organizational priorities. The study also indicates that the main reasons for the implementation of biotechnology research findings include necessity, applicability, and understandability of the findings for the target audience. Among the barriers for the implementation of research project findings are the lack of coordination between research and extension sectors, decisions and financial constraints.
