The External Evaluation System for Research Tasks in the Ship Research Institute

May 1998

The Ship Research Institute has traditionally made efforts such as implementing reviews on all aspects of our operation by a Council formed from external specialists, and evaluating the formulation of research plans and research tasks by an internal Evaluation Committee.


Now, we have produced a Ship Research Institute Research and Development Evaluation Manual that sets out concrete methods of implementing evaluation. This will enable us to carry out rigorous evaluation of the research and development tasks implemented at this Institute, in line with the "Basic Guidelines on Methods of Implementing Standard Evaluation of all Government Research and Development" (decided by the Prime Minister in August 1997; referred to below as "Basic Guidelines").


In future, on the basis of this Manual, we will receive evaluation by external experts on the research tasks undertaken by this Institute. The evaluation will then be reflected in our research activities and disclosed to the public in an easily understandable form.
