The BioCARe Programme offers up to Rs. 60,00,000 for women scientists. Eligible applicants are Indian females aged 45 or below. The official listing gives no last date, so check the official portal for the current status before applying.
The Biotechnology Career Advancement and Re-orientation (BioCARe) Programme is designed to support women scientists in India. It aims to enhance their participation in biotechnology research and provide them with funding for their projects.
This initiative is managed by the Processing and Management Unit at the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology in New Delhi. It focuses on helping unemployed female scientists gain a foothold in the scientific profession.
The programme provides financial support for research projects, allowing women scientists to pursue their research independently. This is especially important for those looking to re-enter the scientific field after a career break.
