3. Ⅰ. Outline

4. 1 1. Purpose and Object Purpose To Set up Roles of GRIs and Promote R&D Productivity through Reviewing Research- and Management-Performances Object 36 Government-funded Research Institutes under the MEST, DAPA, etc. Section Management Performances Research Performances Comprehensive Performance

5. 2 2. History of Evaluation System The FirstEvaluation • Performed by the Prime Minister’s Office • 22 GRIs evaluated together • According to the Evaluation Results, Merge and Abolition of some GRIs made 1991 Management Diagnosis by Foreign Consultant 1998 • Benchmark of Foreign GRIs Research Council System • 4 Research Councils were Established • Each Research Council performed Evaluation of Affiliated Institutes 1999-2005 Performance-based Evaluation System 2006- • Achievement of Performance Goals in R&D and Management Evaluated

7. Ⅱ. Directions and Evaluation System

8. 1. Directions (’11) Alleviation of Evaluation Burden Reinforcement of Utilization of Evaluation Results To Alleviate Burden of Researchers, Evaluation Interval in Management Section is Expanded ※ 1 Year Every 3 years Depending on Evaluation Results, Budget is Allocated Differently to Research Programs (10% Decrease of Budget to Unsatisfactory Programs) Provision of Consulting For Promoting Effective Performance of the Mission and Function of GRIs, Consulting is Provided to the GRIs concerning the Appropriate Direction of R&D, etc. 5

9. 6 2. Evaluation Sections (Self- Eval.)

10. 8 3. Criteria in the Evaluation of Management Performance (Self- Eval.)

11. 9 4. Criteria of Meta-Evaluation • To Review the Appropriateness of Self-Evaluation System

12. 10 5. Grade of Meta-Evaluation • Grade is Divided into 5 Level • Final Grade : “Appropriateness (above 70)” or • “Inappropriateness (under 71)” • - Adding up the Score of 3 Evaluation Items

13. Ⅲ. Utilization of Eval. Results

14. 12 1. Utilization of Evaluation Results Evaluation Results of Management Performance - Increase or Decrease of Operating Cost of GRIs (±10%) - Increase or Decrease of President’s Annual Salary of GRIs • Evaluation Results of R&D Performance • Decrease of Budget in Unsatisfactory Projects ( - 10% ) • Increase of Budget in Excellent Projects ( + 10%) • Evaluation Results of Comprehensive Performance • Guideline for Planning of Research Projects and R&D Directions

15. Ⅳ. Conclusion

16. 14 1. Improvements To Introduce the Absolute Evaluation System that Reflects the Characteristics of R&D Institutes - GRIs are Classified into 3-4 Groups by the Research Area To Alleviate Burdens by Simplifying the Indicators in the Evaluation of Management Performance - Deleting the Indicators related with R&D such as ‘No. of Patents’, ‘No. of Technology Transfer’, etc. To Reinforce the Specialization of Evaluation - Expanding the Tenure of Evaluation Committee Members
