Every project-oriented organization needs an evaluation system to know quality of its project performance. The main aim of the present research is identifying indicators and presenting a model to evaluate the performance of research projects at Institute for International Energy Studies (IIES). The statistical population encompassed two groups of experts, those working in the IIES and the ones who work outside the IIES. The major research tool is a questionnaire, which its reliability and validity are confirmed. A hybrid of Delphi and FUCOM techniques are used to analyze data. According to the findings, 6 indicators and 23 sub-indicators are identified. Additionally, it is determined that the first three ranked criteria are “project planning and control”, “team’s technical knowledge and management”, and “creativity and innovation”.
