Abstract
The purpose of this research is the model of women's research management strategy in the higher education centers of Fars province with an emphasis on the qualitative approach. This research was conducted using a qualitative method. In the qualitative method, data were collected and analyzed through semi-structured interviews with experts and research managers. The results show that the key elements of the model include research policy, management of financial resources, commercialization of research results, development of research infrastructure and equipment, and improvement of skills and knowledge of employees and students. The proposed research management strategy model can be used as an operational framework to improve research management in Fars province's higher education centers. This model has the ability to increase the quality and effectiveness of scientific research by emphasizing coherent policy making, optimal use of financial resources, commercialization of research results, and development of research skills and infrastructure.
