Abstract
ln today's academic and research environment the use of tools and apparatus are enormously important. In Iran, for many different reasons, chiefly among them the lack of local manufacturing base and improper government policies in this regard, most of research equipment is usually imported at a very high cost. The restriction for the purchase of research tools from multi suppliers due to political and economical embargos are also an added complication. In the face of these difficulties, a great deal of apparatus and research instruments exist across the universities and research establishments which are either improperly installed and or not functional due to lack of maintenance or spare parts. The project aims to investigate the state of research logistics quantitatively as well as qualitatively in the hope to establish a proper regime for better financing, purchase, maintenance and use.
