Indo-U.S. Science & Technology Forum Call for
Proposals Indo-U.S. Virtual Networks for COVID-19
Across the
world, countries are being challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic in ways they
have never been before. Science, Engineering, and Technology will play a
critical role in finding solutions to this global challenge through the
development of new vaccines, devices, diagnostic tools, and information
systems, as well as strategies to help communities and nations manage and
deploy resources to combat this epidemic. Global challenges call for global collaborations
and partnerships, bringing together the best and brightest scientists,
engineers, and entrepreneurs to work together to find solutions, not only to
address the current pandemic, but also for the challenges that lie ahead.
Collaborations and networks not only help to leverage and share expertise
across S&T communities, thereby creating synergy, but can often lead to
breakthroughs and generation of innovative and transformative solutions.
Collaboration, both national and international, facilitates the development of
a diverse, globally-engaged science, engineering, and technology-enabled
workforce. To support the global efforts of the medical and scientific
community, IUSSTF announces a Call for Proposals for COVID-19 Indo-U.S. Virtual
Networks. IUSSTF encourages proposals that convincingly demonstrate the
benefits and value of the Indo-U.S. partnership to advance research and address
critical challenges related to COVID-19.
Virtual Networks would allow Indian
and U.S. scientists and engineers currently engaged in COVID-related research
to carry out joint research activities through a virtual mechanism, leveraging
existing infrastructure and funding. These network projects could be of two
types: Knowledge R&D Networks that
enable Indian and U.S. scientists from Academia and National Laboratories to
conduct joint research and encourage the integration of research and education.
Public-Private Virtual Networks that
enable Indian and U.S. scientists from Academia and Industry to collaborate on
pre-commercial R&D activities having potential towards applied research and
product development.
