The International Human Frontier Science Program funds projects in basic research studying fundamental problems in life sciences with potential to move the frontiers. HFSPO attaches highest importance to novelty, scientific merit, internationality, and interdisciplinarity. HFSP Research grants are provided for teams of scientists from different countries who wish to combine their expertise in innovative approaches to questions that could not be answered by individual laboratories.
The HFSPO-India partnership arose from mutual scientific interest in the early 2000s Recognizing this engagement, the Department of Biotechnology encourages the Indian researchers to explore the funding opportunity. The first step in the application process is to initiate a Letter of Intent on the HFSP website by 18 March 2025 and complete its submission by 27 March 2025.
