| Abstract:
Korea Institute of Industrial Technology Evaluation and Planning (ITEP) is in charge of planning and evaluating the lion's share of Korean public investments in research and development for industrial technologies. One of its prominent activities is to carry out portfolio analysis before soliciting research and development proposals in order to fine-tune the technical portfolios of public R&D programs according to national innovation strategies and priorities. This paper will examine the overall scheme, specific procedures, and methodologies adopted for this ex ante portfolio analysis. From the past few years' experiences, it also will discuss the contributions, limitations, obstacles, and challenges of this ex ante evaluation practice at ITEP.

| Abstract:
Preliminary feasibility analysis for the national R&D program is performed to decide budget distribution in Korea. The purpose of a preliminary feasibility analysis is to verify the feasibility of large public R&D programs through technical, policy and impact analysis. Recommendations are given as a result of the analysis through AHP, and approval or rejection of the newly proposed R&D programs is basically dependent on the result. For the purpose of setting up a preliminary feasibility analysis system, the guidelines for each R&D program category were developed. The guidelines were developed for industrial R&D programs, public health and welfare R&D programs, and basic R&D programs. In this study, the methodologies to measure impacts of each R&D program are introduced. The impact evaluation is performed to measure economic, social, and technological benefits and appropriateness. Various methodologies are employed to assess impact of the proposed R&D program.
