Dear IBS Community,

Outreach and science communication is a responsibility that scientists, science professionals and educators across career stages and disciplines have towards society. IndiaBioscience strives to promote outreach, especially amongst talented Indian scientists at the early stages of their career via the IndiaBioscience Outreach Grants (IOG). The call for the 4th IOG is out. We invite young investigators* from India to lead outreach efforts by collaborating with either educators, students, scientists or science communicators to carry out outreach activities. YIM Alumni, Regional YIM Alumni are strongly encouraged to apply.

Look up the ideas to begin with to help get started on the brainstorming and to know about previous awardees and their projects click here.

Applications for the 4th IOG opened on 15 June 2023 and the last date to apply is 14 July 2023 (11:59 p.m. IST).

First-time Grants:

We are seeking inspired Young Investigators (less than 8 years since starting an independent position; Ramalingaswami Re-entry Fellows, Ramanujan Fellows, and DST-INSPIRE Faculty Fellows are considered independent positions), currently employed at or affiliated to a government, educational or a not-for-profit research institute in India, to lead the effort - however, collaborations (with educators, students, science communicators, public engagement professionals, etc.) are strongly preferred. There is no limit on the number of collaborators, but the project proposal should highlight the specific roles of the YI and collaborators in the project. A YI is eligible to apply for one project only, but collaborators can apply via multiple projects.

Extension Grants:

Young Investigators* Currently employed at or affiliated with a government, educational, or not-for-profit research institute in India to lead the effort, those who have been awarded First-time Grants in the previous award cycle are eligible to apply for the Extension grants. Each team can attain this award ONLY once.

*Young Investigators are individuals who are currently employed at or affiliated to a government, educational, or a not-for-profit research institute in India. Their independent career should not have exceeded 8 years.
