Targeted populations of 1110 academic and non-academic employees for the two universities were used for this study. A sample of 285; consisting of 173 from Technical University of Mombasa and 112 from Pwani University was employed through proportionate and simple random sampling to obtain a representative sample. Data analysis was by inferential and descriptive statistics; mean, frequencies, percentages and standard deviation. The study established that logical framework with an average mean of 3.564 and a standard deviation of 0.785 does not have a significant influence on research project enhancement in public universities. There also exists a weak positive relationship of 0.211. There is certainly no significant relationship between logical framework and research projects enhancement in public universities in Kenya at 5% significance level. The study concludes that treasury should increase funding in public universities and regular training and sensitized on utilizing the logical framework.
