ANRF Call for Proposal for Impact Centres of Excellence (ACE)

By offering financial support for the creation of high-impact research centers in establishments that hope to operate at the vanguard of worldwide excellence in science and engineering, the ANRF Impact Centers of Excellence (ACE) initiative seeks to advance Indian research. In addition to promoting a top-notch research environment with cutting-edge facilities for ambitious, innovative research, the program places a strong emphasis on research outcomes and impact that go well beyond publications. The program's goal is to hasten India's top universities' rise to prominence and growth in global institutional rankings, as well as their appearance among the world's top centers of research excellence. In order to achieve internationally benchmarked research excellence, an accelerated rise in global ranking toward the top of the world (and a significant improvement from current status), and a credible plan for mobilising the necessary matching funds, proposals must provide a clear and compelling roadmap. Support will not be given to proposals that do not exhibit such a vision and dedication.

Purpose : Funding support for the establishment of high-impact research centres in institutions
Funding Organization : Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF), Department of Science and Technology (DST)

BIRAC- Call for Proposal under Product Commercialization Program Fund

BIRAC is promoting product/technology development by Indian Start-ups in different areas of biotechnology through various funding schemes such as BIG, BIPP, SBIRI, PACE, IIPME, SPARSH, through various partnerships programmes like Grand Challenges India, National Biopharma Mission, WISH, DBT-BIRAC biomanufacturing initiative or as innovation awards like TiE Winer. BIRAC-supported technologies are continuously monitored and measured for technology maturation on a BIRAC-TRL (Technology Readiness Level; http://www.birac.nic.in/desc_new.php?id=443) scale of 1 to 9. The existing BIRAC schemes support product development, extensive validation up to pre-commercialization. Once the technology/product has been successfully validated (≥TRL 7) and is market-ready, there are additional financial requirements for preparing the ground for market launch, test-validation in targeted markets, and large-scale commercialization, which are not covered under the existing funding programmes. To deal with the situation, BIRAC has launched a Fund under the BIRAC Product Commercialization Program (PCP) called the PCP fund.
