First in the World Challenge, ICMR

"The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), New Delhi, the apex body in India for the formulation, coordination and promotion of biomedical research, is one of the oldest medical research bodies in the world. Over the years ICMR has encouraged researchers within and outside ICMR by providing funding support through various research schemes.

The scheme aims to foster novel, out of the box, futuristic ideas, new knowledge generation, discovery / development of breakthrough health technologies (vaccines, drugs/ therapeutics, diagnostics, interventions etc.) which has never been thought, tested or tried in the world till date. The proposal must have bold research ideas with significant wide-ranging impact and if successful should have potential ‘first of its kind’ biomedical and technological innovations for better health outcomes in the global context. Proposals aiming for ‘incremental’ knowledge’ or ‘process innovation ‘will not be funded through this scheme."
