The Program was initiated in line with the decision taken at the " The Supreme Council for Science and Technology (BTYK)" meeting held on March 10, 2005, in order to meet the needs of public institutions that can be met with R&D or to solve their problems.
Calls are announced for the solution of problems and/or needs identified by public institutions. Within the scope of these calls, projects submitted by using the knowledge, researchers and infrastructure opportunities of universities, public R&D units and private institutions are supported.
In addition to the primary goal of meeting the R&D qualified needs of public institutions, there are 3 different subgoals of this program. These subgoals are listed below;
- Encouraging the cooperation between public, private institutions and universities,
- Targeting industrial production based on knowledge and high technology by using the results of basic and applied research in universities,
- Contributing to the employment of R&D personnel in the country.
Projects submitted to the 1007 Program are supported by two Research Support Groups.
KAMAG - Public Research Support Group
SAVTAG - Defense and Security Technologies Research Support Group
Public institutions that need solutions based on R&D and undertake the implementation of the project results are included in the program as "Customer Institution". Project preparation and project execution, skills, experience and infrastructure; The public R&D unit, university and/or private institution where the project is carried out are included in the program as the "Project Executive Organization".
The projects to be supported can be of three different qualities according to their outputs:
- Prototype/System/Pilot Facility Project: Projects with the potential of commercialization as well as meeting the needs of the customer institution, whose output is a prototype, system or pilot facility, where the needs of the customer institution are met by reproducing the prototype, using the system directly or by reproducing, or converting the pilot facility into a large facility.
- Model/Method/Process Project: Projects whose output is a model, method or process, where the needs of the customer institution are met by the direct use of these outputs, and the commercialization potential is not a priority.
- Technology Knowledge Project: Projects aimed at gaining technological knowledge, where the output cannot be used directly on an industrial scale, for the purpose of gaining the competence to produce products that do not have a technological potential for domestic production.
The Customer Institution submits the Project Results Implementation Plan (PSUP), which it undertakes to use the outputs of the projects supported under the 1007 Program, to TÜBİTAK. According to this plan, TÜBİTAK monitors the transfer of the project results to the application by the customer institution. In technology knowledge projects, Technology Acquisition Roadmap (TKYH) is prepared by the project coordinator organizations instead of PSUP, and the technology development process is followed in line with this roadmap.
PROJECT DURATION
The maximum support period for a project in 1007 program is 48 months.
CALL BUDGET
Budget upper limits are determined during the call process and vary according to the subject and scope of the call.
PROJECT BUDGET

Machinery-equipment demands of private institutions that can also be used for mass production are supported by a maximum of 40%. In addition, 10% of the institution's share and the Continuity of Knowledge and Acquisitions Budget are given, not to exceed 20% of the project budget.
Needs Analysis Process
The Customer Institution prepares its R&D qualified needs in accordance with the format determined by TÜBİTAK and sends it to TÜBİTAK. The subjects to be called for projects are determined among the mentioned R&D qualified needs.
Focus Group process
Focus Group work is carried out with the participation of customer institution representatives, subject matter experts and TÜBİTAK experts in order to prepare the call document regarding the identified need areas.
Call Process
Announcement and call document regarding the calls are published on the TÜBİTAK website. In cases where the publication of the project call is inconvenient in terms of security, the call announcement is not made on the official website of TÜBİTAK, and a call invitation is sent to the relevant organization(s).
