Tran Son Ninh S&T Management Department, Academy of Military Technics Abstract: Research and development (R&D) works have very high roles for sustainable development of organizations and enterprises. Therefore, R&D projects are established and implemented with diversified forms. With limited resources and prefixed development orientations, however, they should be evaluated in an adequate way. Various evaluation methods and models were proposed by scientists, each of them have its own strong points and weak ones. This report presents two methods popularly used and the combined one of them for a better integrated evaluation purpose. One of the purposes of this report is to combine qualitative indicators with variables in an optimal model. However, since the new model just passed some low scaled pilot works its weak points were not exploded. Therefore, the further steps targeted by the author are to test the methods for projects of larger scale to get a multi-aspect vision to the obtained results. Key words: Project; R&D; Evaluation; BSC; DEA. Code number: 13092601 1. Introduction R&D is the tool for organizations/enterprises to innovate and enhance the quality of their activities, to produce new products and services, to build up competitiveness and to implement the sustainable development [6]. In practice, numerous R&D projects are established, implemented effectively and to make breakthrough moves in both science-technology and socioeconomic plans. Naturally, there are projects that were submitted but not selected for implementation, and, even implemented, could not produce expected results. This shows the need to have a scientifically based method with recognized standards for evaluation of R&D projects. The model needs to provide projects in all of their stages, namely: feasibility study establishment, implementation and acceptance [11]. Based on .
