A major challenge in Indian science is the limited ecosystem for translating research discoveries into real-world solutions. While applied research is encouraged, many promising findings do not progress further due to gaps in development and support. Our Early Translational Research (ETR) grants help bridge this divide by providing both funding and guidance from an industry-experienced Scientific Advisory Board.
By supporting translational projects, we aim to ensure that scientific innovations move beyond the lab and reach the communities, industries, and public systems that need them most.
