Abstract: Abstract Over recent years, policy change explanation has grown into a topic of interest among scholars. Accordingly, various frameworks, theories, and models have been introduced to explain policy change through proposing different causal mechanisms to clarify policy change not necessarily aligned. This paper aimed to investigate the Act of Goals, Functions, and Structure of the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology (MSRT) in Iran as an important and radical policy change in the fields of science, research, and technology (SRT). Moreover, there were attempts to identify causes of policy change. This paper had contributions to practitioners and researchers studying in the fields of SRT as well as those involved in promoting policy change.
