Call
for Proposals Under NANOBIOTECHNOLOGY-
Aiming to advance research and foster innovations in cutting
edge areas of Nanobiotechnology, DBT invites proposals to address various
issues related to health, agriculture, food and environment through basic
and applied Nano biotechnological research interventions. The priority areas
include but not limited to :
·
Design and development of new therapeutics and targeted drug/si
RNA delivery vehicles
·
Novel formulations for existing drugs to enhance their efficacy
·
Diagnostics for early diseases detection and imaging
·
Design and development of smart Nano system /devices for tissue
& bone engineering, cosmeceutics and other medical applications
·
Nano enabled system for – efficient delivery of pesticides,
fertilizers and nutrients in crops, enzymatic bioprocessing, textile
engineering,food packaging and improvement of food quality
·
Diagnostics for detection of chemicals and pathogens in food and
crops
·
Understanding the safety of nanomaterials/Nano systems in the
backdrop of emerging regulations (Categories below I &II are not
applicable)
The proposals of the following
three categories would be considered and may be marked accordingly:
I. Use Inspired Discovery and Early Translational Science: The
research objectives of the
proposal should have clearly defined roadmap for scientific outcomes and for future application strategies.
proposal should have clearly defined roadmap for scientific outcomes and for future application strategies.
II. Translational
Research: Under this category the proposals should already have
demonstrated proof of concept, requiring further application oriented
translational studies and /or support for product development
III. Developing Critical Tools for Translational
Research: The proposals should aim at
developing innovative tools and process for preclinical research in the priority areas
