Modeling the evaluation of women's science and technology policiesCase studies supporting women researchers in research and technology

Women make up half of the country's educated population and have an important contribution to society's development. Due to the importance of science and technology in the country's development, policymakers have adopted policies for the participation of women in this area. However, so far, a model for evaluating these policies has not been presented. In this paper, first, by reviewing the subject literature and carrying out expert interviews, the dimensions and components of policy evaluation were considered and the initial model was proposed. This model was tested through a questionnaire using 43 female researchers and 36 policy makers. Accordingly, the final model consists of seven dimensions (policy objectives, policy assumptions, institutional matching, policy design, policy implementation, resource adequacy, and outcomes and outcomes), and a total of 15 components and 41 indicators. The research method is applied, cross-sectional, descriptive, survey and hybrid, which has been developed by generating distribution tables using SPSS. The results of the mean tests showed that the model was approved for both societies. Finally, based on this research, policy recommendations were presented.
