Methods: The study was of qualitative type and its method was research synthesis. The statistical population of the research included 537 sources in the period from 2016 to 2023 in the field of performance evaluation of research organizations. Among these sources, 56 study sources were selected and reviewed based on the title, abstract, and text of the research after several stages of screening. In order to analyze the research data, a three-stage coding method (open, axial, and selective) was used. Results: The findings showed that the data was in the form of 106 open coding and 23 central categories and their combination in 8 dimensions. It was determined that the performance evaluation of research organizations includes dimensions resources and facilities, infrastructure, organizational and management factors, drawing a vision, social criteria, implementation of evaluation, application of evaluation and consequences. Conclusion: the formulation and application of this model gives this possibility to the policy makers and main institutions, who are responsible for monitoring and evaluating the powers and duties, as well as managers of research organizations, to consider policy guidelines and better review measures and to achieve all performance angles in terms of strengths and weaknesses of research organizations.
