First in the World Challenge : ICMR

The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has announced the “First in the World Challenge” aimed at encouraging innovative solutions to pressing health issues.This initiative seeks to foster novel, out-of-the-box ideas and promote the discovery and development of breakthrough health technologies, including vaccines, drugs, and diagnostics.Proposals must present bold, impactful global health research concepts, not ‘incremental innovations’ or ‘process innovation’. The high risk, high reward challenge aims for revolutionary biomedical breakthroughs, despite potential failures.
