This initiative aims to support technologies addressing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) across human, animal, and environmental health.
'The initiative, anchored under the India AMR Innovation Hub (IAIH) at C-CAMP, will identify up to 12 mid to late-stage innovations with Technology Readiness Levels 6–9. Selected technologies will receive financial support of Rs 40 lakh to Rs 2 crore, along with regulatory, IP, legal, manufacturing, and market-readiness assistance,' C-CAMP said on Monday.
Applications opened on July 3 and will close on August 3. Focus areas include the detection of respiratory infections in humans, zoonotic diagnostics, reducing antibiotic use in livestock, removing pharmaceutical residues from effluents, and timely detection of bovine mastitis.
