Abstract :
My Project Istanbul is the name of the Research Fund given by Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality for research projects directed to Municipality related subjects, and carried out by about 22 Universities located in Istanbul. Due to restricted funds, municipality has to be careful about supporting right projects. In this paper, we evaluate the success of completed projects by the help of conducted surveys. In proposed assessment tool, gathered surveys are analyzed by utilizing factor analysis. Moreover, 2-Dimensional R&D Project Portfolio Matrix is constructed and each completed projects are placed into this matrix in order to classify their success. Finally, we suggest a better procedure to select the most appropriate project among candidate projects for Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality.
