This research was a cross-sectional study which applied the logic model to evaluate research and knowledge utilization in the years 2014-2016 for the Department of Disease Control (DDC), Thailand. The objectives were to evaluate the situation problems and factors affecting research and knowledge utilization of DDC from August 20th, 2018 to September 6th, 2018. By purposive sampling, 51 principal investigators (PI) and 102 knowledge creators were recruited and interviewed using a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. The results reveal that 35 research studies were used or applied further and 53.7% of them were used in academic purposes. Regarding the characteristics of PIs, most of them were 50 years and above, have master’s degree, had working experience in DDC 11-15 years and had 5-10 articles in the past. For 95 knowledge articles, most of them were abstract or tacit knowledge, 55.4% of them were used within the organizations such as human resource section. Characteristics of the knowledge creators, they were 50 years and above, have bachelor’s degree and had less than 5 articles in the past. Factors related to the utilization of research studies at the 95% statistically significance were namely academic position level and utilization plan, and factor associated with utilization of knowledges were reported as experiences for building knowledge, reports in the past, motivation of self- development, and utilization’s plan. In addition to supporting academic papers, DDC lacks the support for academic presentation abroad. Changing often the person responsible, DDC should encourage mentors who have substantial academic experience to advise and suggest new officers to do work together, as well as support and encourage academic work utilization into regulations, guidelines, and policies for solving the problems regarding illness and mortality of people in the country.
