Effective Factors on Earmarked Revenues of Researches in Iranian Universities of Technology

Introduction: In recent years, transmitting knowledge and technology is considered as one of the primary functions of universities in developed countries whose main consequence is to provide better opportunities in making the required funds, especially from non- government sources. Universities of Technology in our country too, have more appropriate bases to develop commercialization. Hence, identifying and studying the relationship between effective performance components in research commercialization and diversification of income sources of universities are taken into consideration in this article.
Materials and Methods: Assessing income function regression model of universities based on research function components was conducted in this research by means of available statistics and data.
Results: Analysis of data was showed that some variables such as the number of published articles in international conferences and journals, joint contracts with industries and higher education students’ dissertations have meaningful relationship with earmarked revenue so the resultant outcomes are in keeping with universal studies.
Conclusion: Therefore, it is necessary for universities to pay closer attention to developing joint contracts in the short run an to make more sustainable relationship with commercial network, the status and the share of faculty members' income in the long-term horizon.
