Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) provides financial assistance to Indian scientists working outside ICMR institutes to conduct research in the fields of medicine, public health, and allied disciplines aimed at improving the health of Indians under its Extramural Research Programme. The proposed research projects in response to this Call for Proposals are investigator-initiated, i.e. conceptualised and implemented by the Principal Investigator and her/his team of co-investigators. The project should be well-circumscribed, and time bound to achieve specific and measurable objectives. Multidisciplinary projects which aim to find solutions to priority disease and conditions (see table 1) will receive preference for funding. Research proposals that take forward leads from previous ICMR grants to fruition will also be given preference.
