This article describes a general model for setting priorities on proposed R & D projects. It reports on research that evaluates methods for implementing the model. Specifically investigated were techniques for establishing criteria weights, assigning quantitative scales to qualitative criteria and modifying the model to improve its performance. Methods for solving the problem of criteria independence and for estimating probability of project success are proposed, but not tested.
