Call For Proposal

Continued Innovation creates affordable healthcare technologies or products which do not exist in Indian markets. This includes products which either needs modifications through re-engineering; or product which exists, but affordable and cost effective versions are required; and/or those products which exist, but their usage is limited due to lack of optimal transport and storage conditions etc. Availability of affordable healthcare, thereby, is a challenge to the Indian Health Care Providers.

To mitigate this challenge, Department of Biotechnology (DBT) invites proposals under Biotechnology Industry Partnership Programme (BIPP), a Government partnership with industry for support on a cost sharing basis, exclusively in the field of Innovative and Affordable Health Technologies for Women, Child Care and Other Age Groups, which may include one or more of the following innovative element(s), but not limited to:
