Background
The Department of Biotechnology (DBT) and IC-IMPACTS Centres of Excellence, Canada, are the implementing organizations from the Indian and Canadian sides respectively. IC-IMPACTS Centres of Excellence is a not-for-profit organization established by the Federal Government of Canada through the Networks of Centres of Excellence Program to serve as a pan-Canadian agency responsible for the delivery of research programs in the areas of safe and sustainable infrastructure, integrated water management, and public health: disease prevention and treatment between Canada and India.
Potential projects will be funded by IC-IMPACTS in Canada, and by DBT in India. The joint projects must meet the requirements of the funding organizations. In India, the general funding terms of DBT will be applied. In Canada, the general funding terms of IC-IMPACTS and the tri-agency granting councils of Canada will be applied.
Opportunity
The Joint Call for Collaborative Research Innovation Projects in the area of “Portable Diagnostics and Analyzers” will support collaborative research projects focused on the development and evaluation of new diagnostics and analyzers in each of the following areas:
- Infectious Diseases
- Maternal and Infant Health
- Nutritional Deficiency
- Interdisciplinary Approaches and Platform Technologies
Eligibility
Indian-Canadian joint projects must be based on meaningful engagement, include a common project plan, and involve at least one researcher from Canada and one researcher from India. Student and HQP training is a mandatory component of all funded projects.
All Canadian Researchers eligible to receive funding from IC-IMPACTS and tri-council agencies in Canada are eligible to apply as Principal Investigators from Canada with an Indian Principal Investigator.
All Indian Researchers normally eligible to apply to DBT funding opportunities are eligible to apply as Principal Investigators from India with a Canadian Principal Investigator.
