ANRF plans to establish a Centre of Excellence for Science, Technology and Innovation Indicators and Analytics (COE-STIIA) with the aim to strengthen the institutional mechanism for STI indicators with an end-to-end system. The key objective is to enhance the quality, contextual relevance and applicability of India’s STI indicators, their analysis, interpretations and dissemination of information and insights at various levels of policy and program planning, as well as foster alignment with the global indicator frameworks to position India effectively in international indices. The CoE is expected to integrate the STI indicator data with the Anusandhan Master Platform for Research and Innovation (ANUMAPI), a unified National Dashboard being developed to disseminate data/information related to research funding, projects, institutions, and outcomes across the country.
