  This paper attempts to evaluate the impact of the types of grants, large (LG) or small (SG), funded by King Abdul-Aziz City for Science and Technology (KACST). Specifically, this research attempts to compare grants with regard to their scientific outputs as represented by the number of published articles, the number of reputable journals published within, and the number of citations achieved by the published papers. In addition, the study investigates the number of patents produced, the number of conferences and symposiums attended by the funded researchers, and the number of published abstracts in conference proceedings. Data collection was conducted via a questionnaire distributed to 600 KACST funded principle investigators whose research had been completed within the last five years. 311 recipients responded to the questionnaire corresponding to 311 funded projects.
