Call for proposals on ‘Forest Biotechnology’

Forests are the world’s greatest repository of terrestrial biomass, soil carbon and terrestrial
biodiversity. Besides, forests provide a variety of provisioning, supporting, regulatory and
cultural ecosystem services. Taking into consideration the multidimensional value of forest areas, particularly their important role in maintaining the flow of ecosystem goods as well as services, the Department is desirous of supporting R&D proposals on Forest Biotechnology concentrating on the following thrust areas:

  1. Development of biotechnological mitigation and adaptation strategies in forestry sector to meet the challenges of climate change.
  2. Cutting edge research using newer technologies like tree genomics for
    understanding of forest tree biology, development of tree diagnostics and planting material improvement for improved productivity and biodiversity of forested ecosystems.
  3. Development of seed handling and molecular marker-based seed testing/

    certification technologies for development of good quality seeds and planting
    materials for industrial forests
  4. Development of site specific technological packages for restoration and
    rehabilitation of degraded and fragile forest eco-systems.
  5. Development of technologies for measuring and maintaining ecosystem services from forests.
  6. Modelling and control of invasive species in protected areas using biotechnological approaches.

Mode of Submission: Interested researchers should send project proposals online through DBT electronic project management system ‘eProMis’ (http://dbtepromis.nic.in/Login.aspx) under the Programme ‘Forest Biotechnology’. 3 hard copies of the proposal (One original + 2 copies) must additionally be submitted by post to Dr Onkar N. Tiwari, Scientist ‘E’, Room No. 516, 5th Floor, Block-3, CGO Complex, Lodhi Road, New Delhi- 110003.

Evaluation Criteria: Proposals will be evaluated based upon the scientific and also technological merit, with focus placed on the potential of creating brand-new knowledge or developing techno economically feasible novel biotechnological solutions in the particular thrust location Department also reserves the right to select or turn down the proposals based on the priority as well as availability of funds.
