5. ICMR promotes biomedical research in the country through intramural research (through its own Institutes/ Centres ) and extramural research (through grants-in-aid given to projects in non- ICMR Institutes). ICMR’s 26 National Institutes address themselves to research on specific health topics like Tuberculosis Leprosy C holera and diarrheal diseases 5 AIM AND OBJECTIVES

7. Contd … Its 6 Regional Medical Research Centers address themselves to regional health problems. and also aim to strengthen or generate research capabilities in different geographic areas of the country. 7

8. ICMR promotes extramural research through Setting up Centers for Advanced Research in different research areas around existing expertise and infrastructure in selected departments of Medical Colleges, Universities and other non-ICMR Research Institutes; Task force studies which emphasis a time-bound, goal-oriented approach with clearly defined targets, specific time frames, standardized and uniform methodologies, and often a multi-centric structure; FUNCTION 8

9. Contd …. (iii) Open-ended research on the basis of applications for grants-in-aid received from scientists in non-ICMR Research Institutes located in different parts of the country. 9

10. Human resource development in biomedical research is encouraged by ICMR through various schemes such as Research Fellowships i.e. Junior & Senior Fellowships and Research Associate ships; Short-term Visiting Fellowships (which allow scientists to learn advanced research techniques from other well-established research Institutes in India); Contd …. 10

11. Contd … ( iii)Short-term Research Studentships (for undergraduate medical students to encourage them to familiarize themselves with research methodologies and techniques; and (IV)Various Training Program and Workshops conducted by ICMR. The ICMR also offers the position of Emeritus Medical Scientist to retired scientists/teachers to enable them to continue or take up research on specific biomedical topics. 11
