The ICMR has created a new category of ‘Follow-on Research Grant’ to leverage the transformation of research-leads generated through its previous grants to the next steps. This category will enable continuity beyond initial grant cycles and ensure promising innovations are not discontinued due to gaps in funding. Overall aim is to maximize the benefits on the ICMR's research investments. The Principal Investigators with demonstrated significant outcomes having translation potential from their previous ICMR’s projects, preferably completed in the last 5 years, are encouraged to submit their proposals under this category to take-up their research-leads forward. A maximum of 100 proposals would be considered.
"The Department of Science & Technology (DST), Government of India, in collaboration with the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser (O/o PSA), has launched a Mission S&T for Sustainable Livelihood System as Mission सह-SANKALP (Science and Advanced Networks for Knowledge-driven Action for Livelihood Promotion). The national mission addresses the need to integrate S&T solutions with rural and tribal livelihoods to promote sustainability, resilience, and inclusive growth, especially in the Aspirational Blocks identified by Niti Aayog. This Call for Proposals (CFP) invites eligible institutions and organizations to submit proposals for piloting STI-based livelihood interventions in selected Aspirational Blocks to develop scalable models that enhance capacities & strengthen the socio-economic conditions of Scheduled Caste (SC) communities; and align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
