Deadline: 31-May-22
The Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) has launched a call for proposals for Livestock and Animal Biotechnology.
The major emphasis of this program is towards enhancement of livestock production & productivity, and improving animal health through biotechnological interventions.
The number of projects under this ambit has increased over the years and has contributed significantly as large number of technologies, products, newer vaccines, diagnostics have been developed and commercialized.
Thematical Areas
DBT invites R&D proposals on following thematic areas under ‘Livestock and Animal Biotechnology’ to strengthen livestock sector in the country:
- Genome and Genetic Characterization
- Animal Breeding
- Transgenic Animal
- Production of Bio-pharmaceuticals through Transgenesis
- animal nutrition
- Dairy and Dairy Products
- Point of Care Diagnostics
- Development of Novel Livestock By-products
- Novel Diagnostics and Therapeutics for Livestock Diseases
- New Generation Veterinary Vaccines
- Translation of Existing Candidate Vaccines and Diagnostics for Field Use
These areas are indicative in nature. Investigators are welcome to submit any novel, exciting proposal on any biotechnological aspect of ‘Livestock and Animal Biotechnology’.
Who Can Apply: Investigators from the recognized Academic Institutions and Universities/Colleges, National Laboratories, R&D Institutions, and Research Organizations recognized by DSIR.
Criteria
- The proposals may be single or multi-institutional, with well-defined milestones/timelines and roles of individual institutions.
- The Project proposal should have clear objectives, scope, outcome and quantifiable deliverables with specific time frame.
- The proposal should also clearly bring out selection of problem, promise, potential and evidence of new technology development leading to product and its delivery within a reasonable period of time.
