DBT-BIRAP invites proposals under CRS to facilitate Academia-Industry interaction

Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Programme (BIRAP), is a programme of the Department of Biotechnology, Govt. of India, with an objective to facilitate innovative research. DBT-BIRAP now endeavours to extend its support to Academia in the form of grant-inaid for validation of the Proof of Concept (PoC) by an Industrial partner. The CRS scheme would support the academia-industry interaction between research institutes, universities, public funded research laboratories, governmental organizations, research foundations and companies / industries under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode.
Under this, Public Sector Research Institutes, Universities who have already generated or have pre-existing scientifically established proof of concept/leads could seek support for specific research and validation process to be performed by a company partners within a defined time frame. The industry partner in turn would complete the Validation Phase in a Contract Research mode.
In addition, if the Academic group requires some specific services from the industry such as toxicology, sequencing, use of specific equipment etc. these could also be supported under this scheme.
