Team Science Grants will fund team of researchers who bring together complementary skills, knowledge, and resources to address an important health challenge for India. These grants will also fund high-risk, high-reward research work.

Applicants must demonstrate their complementarity, the added value that this collaboration would bring and lead to advances that would otherwise not be possible with individual Principal Investigators (PIs) working alone. The project should be multi-institutional and inter-disciplinary in its approach, with a suitable research management plan and structure.

Though not mandatory, the scheme encourages international collaboration. The projects would require external evaluation at regular intervals, and therefore the proposal should have in-built milestones for evaluation and reporting. India Alliance would also reserve the right to periodically review the funded program, which may include site visits. 

Applications will be accepted online from 1 May 2020 to 14 May 2020. Proforma for the online application is available HERE.

Please prepare your application details as per the proforma and use these for filling in the online application when it is launched.

If the application is shortlisted, the interviews would be held in the month of November 2020.

Applications open: April 2020

Applications close: 14 May 2020, 11:59pm
