DBT/​Wellcome Trust India Alliance invites applications for its Team Science Grants (TSG) scheme, which will fund teams that bring together high-quality scientists from multiple institutions with complementary skills, knowledge, and resources to address an important health challenge for India. High-risk, high-reward proposals can also seek funding under this programme.

It is envisioned that the funded projects will be multi-institutional and have an inter-disciplinary approach and a suitable research management plan and structure. Though not mandatory, international collaborations are encouraged.

The major sections of the application are—

• Details of the applicants
• The proposed research plan (with built-in milestones for evaluation)
• Budget of the proposed project (with a resource-sharing plan)
• Official support letter from the head of the sponsoring institution(s)
