- Abstract. The scientific research proposal is part of the task to be carried out in academic and research institutionsaroundthe world. This is a complex decision-making problem, because decision-makersmust determine the projects that areappropriate to the subjects addressed by the institution, those projects must be achievable within a reasonable deadline, they must have the financial means and the budget necessary to be carried out, the staff must besufficiently qualified and an optimum number of personnelmust be available to succeed the tasks and not interfere with other research projects. This is a predictive problem, thus, the proposed model is based on Delphi method for evaluating research projects and is supported by neutrosophy.Delphi method is widely applied in the prediction of future events, in this model we introduce the uncertainty and indeterminacy modeled with neutrosophy. As the best of our knowledge, thismodel is the first one, whichapplies a neutrosophic Delphi methodin the evaluation of scientific research proposals. Finally, ahypothetical case study illustrates the applicabilityof the method.
