Women Scientist Scheme

Fellowships for women scientists who had break in career to bring them into

A large proportion of women undertake bio-medical education at graduation, postgraduation and doctorate level. But the present number of working women in biomedical research appears to be low than the expected and needs to be addressed.
The problems faced are several, but significantly, most often the “break in their
careers” arises out of motherhood and family responsibilities. The option for revival of
their profession is presently unavailable due to restrictions in age and qualification and
no system at present addresses these issues. Under this scheme, women scientists
will be encouraged to pursue research in identified areas of bio-medical/ health
research.

There will be following two categories of fellowships, based on the qualification and
experience of the candidates:
