As in the visiondocument has been put a lot of emphasis on scientific development ofthe country towards reaching the ultimate goal of acquiring the firstscientific position in the region, there seems to be a necessity forspecial attention to scientific and R & D centers of the country andmore specifically to the researchers and professionals of this section.On the other hand, acquiring the first economic position of the regionis Iran’s other major goal, to be reached by the end of the visionperiod.

Sinceit has tried to analyze the literature and information obtained from R&D centers to define the leadership strategies of researchers, it can beconsidered a descriptive survey; and since the results obtained, havebeen examined through the survey, we can consider it a survey study.This research was performed in the Niroo Research Institute (NRI) ofMinistry of Energy, as one of the largest national research centers inIran. The population of this study are the expert middle and highmanagers of this institute. Additionally, the validity and reliability of all surveys have beenevaluated and approved.Major results of this paper are the followings: determines appropriatestrategies, and provides an integrated model for leadership ofscientists strategies in R & D sections; provides effective parametersin determining the strategic position in the model.The results of this research, have also been evaluated andimplemented in the NRI.
