Extramural funding is critical for our research, and our faculty are encouraged and expected to actively seek such funding. Our research is supported from sources including, amongst others, the DBT, DST, SERB, ICMR-DHR, DBT-WT India Alliance, EMBO, HFSP and others.  Specific initiatives are also supported via corporate sources such as HUL, SPARC, Genentech and philanthropic sources such as Wildlife Conservation Trust, Chan-Zukerberg Initiative and the Simons Foundation. The RDO provides comprehensive support to campus researchers with securing research funding from Government, international, corporate, charitable and other private sources, as well as management of grants and awards.
