Purpose: The purpose was to identify the Effective Factors on the Commercialization of Research Projects in Universities of Medical Sciences in Iran.
Methods: This research is applied in terms of purpose and in terms of the Mixed method with the exploratory design. The society in the qualitative section (17 experts with a targeted sampling and in a quantitative section, 318 people selected by random sampling from the Stratified and formula of Cochran were selected from 1851 people. A questionnaire with 5 factors (individual, environmental, context, structural and content) and 74 questions used. Face and content validity confirmed by experts and their construct validity was more than 0.5 with a factor load, and their reliability was 0.91. The data analyzed using descriptive statistics from mean and standard deviation. In the section of inferential statistics were used Kendall's tau coefficient test, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis.
Findings: There is a positive and significant relationship between commercialization with all five factors individual, environmental, context, structural and content. The content dimension with the factor load of 0.873 is the highest impact and the environmental dimension with 0.663 has the least. There is a strong positive and significant relationship between the dimensions with their components.
Conclusion: There is a positive and significant relationship between commercialization with all five factors. The results showed that content factor (factor load was 0.761), structural (0.735), underlying (0.652), individual (0.530) and environmental (0.439) have the highest significant role in commercializing of the results of scientific researches.
