摘要

由於政府研發資源有限，如何作最有效的運用與管理是一個重要的問題。本研究目的係接受國科會委託，針對科技計畫績效評估問題，建構一套計畫績效評估指標以建立具體化、系統化之衡量準則，並可針對不同類型計畫給予不同權重，來反映其計畫特性。本研究並發展一套計畫前、中、後的評估作業模式與配套的科技計畫評估管考機制，作爲計畫評選、計畫管考評估、主管單位評鑑，與國家研發資源分配之依據，以及科技政策規劃之參考，以提升政府研發資源分配之決策品質。本研究成果已經爲國科會採用並持續使用中。

Due to increasingly strained governmental resources, effective management and efficient utilization of government funds for R&D projects has become a critical issue. This study aimed to design performance indices and the associated mechanism to assist the National Science Council (NSC) of Taiwan in evaluating the performance of government funded R&D projects to enhance the decision quality for government R&D funding. In particular, a hierarchy of performance indices was developed that can be employed for different types of R&D projects with the corresponding weighting. Then, a novel mechanism with systematic procedures was designed to undertake the evaluation before, during, and after the project execution for feed forward and feedback control of government funded R&D projects. Therefore, the collected performance data can be analyzed for effective project management and rational resource allocation decisions. This study concludes with discussions of future studies.
