The aim of this research was designing a conceptual model for Sports Research Application in Iran. The qualitative research method was selected with a systematic exploratory approach. The statistical population consisted of two parts: experts (professors, managers, etc.) and information resources (articles, documents, etc.). A statistical sample of sufficient numbers (theoretical saturation) was sampled by judgment (17 people and 72 documents). The research tools included the study of systematic libraries and structured exploratory interviews. The validity of the research was evaluated and confirmed based on the legal validity of the sample, the content validity of the instruments and the agreement between the correctors. The extracted conceptual framework included 4 general levels, 12 perspectives, 34 dimensions, and 116 key components. The four conceptual levels of the model include; it is an ecosystem (capacities), a system (capabilities), a structure (strategies) and a function (achievements). The four conceptual levels of the model include is; Ecosystem (Capacities of the Scientific System, Development of the Sports System and Scientific Developments in International Sports), System (executive capabilities, industry, sports science system), Structural (research management, resource provision, research services and research development), and functional (usability, scope and consequences of application). Based on the results of research management in the field of sports it is suggested that the application of sports research be defined as a systemic and strategic flow and at the same time to improve the applicability of sports research to build capacity in the scientific, executive, industrial and social environment of sports.
