(a) Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF):
ANRF is a new and landmark initiative by the Government of India, established to strengthen the country’s research ecosystem. The ANRF was created by an Act of Parliament (The Anusandhan National Research Foundation Act, 2023) and officially came into existence on February 5, 2024. It aims to seed, grow, and promote Research and Development (R&D) and to foster a culture of research and innovation throughout India’s universities, colleges, research institutions, and laboratories. The following agencies fund research across all scientific and engineering disciplines.
Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB)
To support basic research in emerging areas of Science and Engineering.
- The premier agency for basic research.
- Funds individual scientists, not institutions.
- Offers start-up grants, core research grants, and prestigious fellowships.
