CSIR YOUNG SCIENTIST AWARDS/NOV.,2011

CSIR YOUNG SCIENTIST AWARDS

In order to promote excellence in various fields of science and technology, a scheme of awards for young scientists in the CSIR system was introduced in 1987. Normally, 5 awards, one in each of the following fields, are given annually:

·         Biological Sciences

·         Chemical Sciences

·         Earth, Atmosphere, Ocean and Planetary Sciences

·         Engineering Sciences

·         Physical Sciences (including instrumentation)

GUIDELINES

Any scientist, engaged in research work in any of the CSIR laboratories/institutes, who is not more than 35 years of age, as reckoned on 26 September (CSIR Foundation Day) of the preceding year, is eligible for the Award. Nominee should be a regular employee of CSIR system holding a post of Scientist ‘B’ or above in Group IV. Neither Junior nor a Senior Technical Assistant (JTA/STA) nor a Quick-hire-fellow (QHF) is eligible for consideration.

Nominations are invited for CSIR Young Scientist Awards every year from Directors of CSIR Laboratories/ Institutes and Chairperson of Research Councils (RC) of CSIR Laboratories/ Institutes and Bhatnagar Awardees working at CSIR Laboratories. Information regarding nominees should be sent as per proforma prescribed for nomination.

Directors/ Chairmen (RC) / Bhatnagar Awardees should propose nominations of scientists belonging to the CSIR laboratories/ institutions with which they are associated.  Each of them can send a maximum of two nominations.

Duly approved Advisory Committees in the above-mentioned five fields would make selections from among the nominations received. The scientists, nominated for CSIR Young Scientist Award, are required to make a brief presentation about their research work before the concerned Advisory Committee.  No nomination will be considered in absentia.

Each award consists of a citation (signed by the Director General, CSIR and the Vice-President, CSIR), a cash prize of Rs.50000 (Rupees Fifty Thousand only) and a plaque.

The awards are given for outstanding contributions made by the young CSIR scientists based on work done primarily in India during the last five years preceding the year of the Award.

The CSIR Young Scientist Awards will be presented to the recipients on 26 September, the CSIR Foundation Day.

After the selections, each Awardee would be required to submit a research project indicating the grant required for equipment and contingency by him/her for the pursuit of research as per his/her proposed project. Duration of the project may be for five years or less.  The project should have the approval of the Director/ Research Council of the laboratories/ institutes. Work under the project is to be carried out independently.  With effect from 1 April 1994, the Directors of CSIR laboratories/ institutes have been empowered to release the grant, which is normally to the tune of Rs 5.00 lakh (enhanced from the year 2008 onwards) per annum per awardee for the approved projects to the CSIR Young Scientist Awardee, where he/ she is working.  The grant may be debited to the centrally operated budget head (P 81-113) of the Extramural Research (EMR), Human Resource Development Group, CSIR Complex, New Delhi.  Intimation regarding this should be sent to HRDG along with a copy of the project for reference and record.

INDIAN COUNCIL OF MEDICAL RESEARCH / Call for Research Proposals NOV.,2011

 INDIAN COUNCIL OF MEDICAL RESEARCH  

Call for Research Proposals on
the “Long term   effect(s) of MIC  gas , if any, on the Bhopal  Population
either exposed or affected (in  December 1984)’ 

   

Council invites research proposals in following areas to study long term effect, if any , of toxic gas exposure on Bhopal population:

1.                  Genetic disorders

2.                  Low birth weight

3.                  Growth and development disorders

4.                  Congenital malformation

5.                  Biological markers of MIC/toxic gas exposure.

6.         To understand mechanisms of toxicity in humans and suggest management of the same.

7.         Evaluate health effects of contamination drinking water with toxic material from Bhopal Gas Plant.

            The proposal(s) should be submitted by email to  ( shukladk@icmr.org.in   ).  Please write   “Research Proposal for Bhopal Gas Disaster” in subject line and send the proposal as an attachment.  The proposals will be peer reviewed and will have to be presented   by PI /discussed during  meeting of   Expert Group.  Approved research proposals would be supported by the Council for funding, subject to fund availability.  

            The proposal should be submitted   in ICMR adhoc project  format  which can be downloaded ,alongwith the terms  and condition  for submitting  the research proposal  for funding from ICMR website The last date of submitting the research proposal is upto 31st December, 2011.

Guidelines   for submitting the research proposal

1.   Common Guidelines    The Projects should be based on the Clinical & Epidemiological findings in the aftermath of the Bhopal Gas Disaster. Every Investigation must include information about Affected & Unaffected Exposees, as well as Control from totally Unexposed Population Groups

2. Choice of  Follow up  Case  Material  : Investigations should be centered around Duly Recorded Cases of Congenital Malformations and/or Low Birth Weights, and Delayed Developmental Disorders, including delayed milestones of the affected members of the Family & their Sibling.  Wherever possible, it is essential that the Proformae should include or at least indicate Documentary Support or Evidence of : Exposure to the Toxic Gases, such as Fatalities, Hospitalization and Therapeutic Intervention & Detoxification measures, if any, during/at the time of BGT.

3. Noteworthy Features of Specified Topics: There is a need to focus special attention on each one of the four main themes or topics.

a .Low Birth Weight Children of Dec 84:. Follow-up data of adequate numbers of Authentic Cases of Initial Low Birth Weight, along with their respective Controls may be collected. 

The respective Patterns of Growth & Development must be subjected to statistical analysis.  It is important to establish whether similar trends persisted in their progeny, either way. 

Other developmental issues like Retardation of Genitalia & Reproductive Functions could also be assessed.   Undertake the studies in three successive generations of MIC Gas Exposees.  Study cases  of the Original Victims & Progeny with not only lowered physical, but mental and psychological potentials, in comparison with corresponding Socio-Economic Controls.

b) Congenital Malformations:  The initially reported high incidence of congenital malformations in the wake of the Bhopal disaster was found to be well within the national average.  However, such a possibility in the subsequent pregnancies due to genetic or chromosomal abnormalities could be studied.  A quaniquennial or decade-wise analysis of Congenital Malformations in the Affected, & Control population ofBhopal , as compared with the National & Global figures will be an important contribution to Population Dynamics of Industrialization.

c) Genetic Disorders:  In the aftermath of the Bhopal Gas Disaster, the views on chromosomal alterations & damage in the Bhopal Gas victims was that it was one-time toxic manifestation; or some felt it could be the fore-runner of chromosomal abnormalities.  This may be substantiated by a Cross-Sectional  study. A systematic study could undertake a trans-generational chromosomal study among exposés and unaffected population of Bhopal using more up-to-date methods of analysis.
